Nothing fancy about my shave tonight - only humble products that provide consistently good results
The T3 brush is quickly becoming a firm favourite. A small amount of Lea cream nestled in the knot for face latherIng soon became a luxurious, slick lather with enough left for another full shave.
* both the Lea cream and N Locio'n Aftershave were recommended to me by Iain, @Digimonkey. Their combined price was around €4.50 in a Spanish supermarket.
The aftershave comes in a 325ml bottle that would seemingly last for ever. It contains seaweed of some kind, and it has a long lasting cooling and hydrating effect.

Until 40 minutes ago, I thought Lego was the most painful thing you can stand on. Having just trod on a drawing pin going down the stairs, I can confirm that this is, in fact, much more f*cking painful! That's the most condensed swearing session I've done in a few years. Had to lay on the sofa for 3 minutes before getting over it and starting my shave.
Now on to the shave! I'm working my way through some samples to try and tidy the den up a bit. MÜHLE organic was up today. The shaving cream smells like cucumber and the balm smells like salad cream. It's good stuff though. Did the job admirably. Once I've reduced the hoard to less than 20 soaps and creams (2055?) I may get some of this.
As suspected, the Hawk V3 is smooth and efficient. BBS is achieved!
