Shaved this afternoon but forgot to post.
The raspings of today were taken with much trepidation after yesterday's nasty reaction to the Indian Old Spice SC and my own ensuing blunders. "Mummy, why does Daddy look like a big tomato?", enquired Shortie innocently upon arriving home from her Gran's. Grrr!
Anyhoo:
English fat Tech + single shim + Personna blue
Coates Fitzwilliam pure
MWF
Barbershop Bay Rum
Astral
Paul Smith London EDT
New brush today. Felt surprisingly soft in the dry but the scritch revealed itself in mid face lather. Need to man up to the this wee beauty, for a beauty it certainly is. Big thanks to Paul at ManMachine for picking me out a lovely example with much neater lamp blacking than often seen in pictures.
Still a little irritated but much better all round. Had almost decided to forego whisker removal today but the Fitz's arrival put paid to that. Can I defeat the Pure or will I go skulking off in search of Best?
First time I've worn the PSL for a long time, perhaps eight or nine months. Previously my undisputed favourite and a huge black dog chaser of a fragrance with many great memories brought to mind upon the merest whiff. Today however, it seemed unctuously modern and a tad girly. Very disappointed. Sometimes I'd get a pleasant hint but mostly I thought it too fresh and flowery. Could it be that it's just the time of year?
War and Peace for SotD as usual. I'll be getting hate mail soon.....:icon_rolleyes:
). A really good solid no-frills brush of excellent quality.
