Nice shave something wasn't quite right. I I love the scent of the soap it just doesn't feel slippery enough for me. Nice two pass shave.

I have good memories of Sam's Chop House, spent many an evening in there whilst working in Manchester, that was one of my key eating places along with San Carlo, East Z East, Chaopraya, and a Chinese that I can't remember the name of, but it was in the Northern Quarter. just along the road from the new Holiday Inn. Happy Days

A companion had that and pronounced himself pleased. I had the corned beef hash, myself, as I tend to

Bowl lathered, unusually for me. Better than yesterday with the MWF which was too aerated (and therefore dry).

Gillette Fusion ProGlide
Edwin Jagger BBB
Proraso Cream, Red
Zino by Davidoff EDT
Spent a sizeable chunk of the weekend deciding what I can buy/try next/again.
After lots of hemmin' and hawin' I didn't find anything that took my fancy.
Might give Clinique / Elemis / Clarins / No. 7 / Lab Series gels a whirl.

Pre hot towel + LEA lanolin soap + Omega 31052 + Gillette Contour Plus with Gillette cartridge + La Toja "Manantiales" splash and balm
Many, many years have passed since last time I used a Contour. I now need a cartridge razor for travelling and I decided to use one as classic as possible like this metallic Contour handle. I have found two more in my family houses in plated colour, but I like this black one more, hehe. I'm going to compare all the Contour compatible cartridges to decide which one will shave me better with this handle, so I started with the most common: Gillette. Later I'll test Wilkinson and Feather ones.
This first shave was not bad, but lubricating strip is a mess...
Cheers!
