Good morning friends.
As the book of Anne Geddes remains on the table, I thought about looking a picture to match my UFO Godzilla, chubby and soft, and I found that this fits well. The Calani Iberian Sun is great and the Coimbra Water, delicious.
Forza Alonso, Forza Ferrari!!!

Sunday:

Arko
Semogue SOC Boar
Feather Artist Club SS
Feather Pro blade (8)
Alum
Professor Blighty's harlequin AS

Relatively smooth. I seem to have traded nicks for weepers, I don't know if that counts as progress but I'm counting it. Easily staunched with a liberal application of alum.

Slight change of pace this week.

Gillette Slim Adjustable (set to 3) with 7 o'clock green
NF2221 mountain badger
The Real Shaving Co cream
C&E Sienna asb.

Not used to the Gillette in ages. I found set to a 3 quite aggressive (for me), more than my EJ DE87 and Merkur 34c. Couple of tiny nicks, but a smooth shave.

Definitely! Soon the weepers will be gone too .

Got a text from a friend this morning: "weather's great, get the roadster out, see you in half an hour for a run to the Cat and Fiddle". Well, why not. No shave, no time .

... a run to the Cat and Fiddle".

What a great way to spend an afternoon on a warm & sunny Sunday. Is that the one bertween Buxton & Macclesfield or another one?

What's the scoop Doc,

So it's a progressive kinda thing? Less blood and gore as the new straight user figures out the technique is what it sounds like, which makes sense.

I guess that poster somehow made it past the earlier 'small boils' stage. Hah, that usually stops most people.
