Definitely nearly there, shave
Prep - shower
Bowl - glass
Soap - MWF (new formulation)
Brush - Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm synthetic
Razor - Merkur 34c
Blade - Rainbow Super Class (?) (1)
Post - lather remains face wash, cold rinse, alum block
Splash - Sierran Breeze ASL
Balm - Nivea Replenishing ASB
Fragrance - Mastermind EDT
Refreshment - mug of tea made using a Ringtons mug bag (like a teabag, but bigger)
Starting to appreciate ‘the fat’ now, lovely shave, smooth, slick and comfortable. Great lather and the blade’s not bad either (apart from odd name, is it super or class or what?) Need a few more tries to be sure. But all good, so happy, happy!
Ok, it’s lanolin. I think I can smell lanolin.
What! Sorry how do you mean?
Lanolin, it’s from wool.
How do you know this?
Oh, I Dougaled it.
What, Dougaled it?
Yeah, you know, Dougal, that Red Setter that lives round the corner, I asked him, he knows EVERYTHING!
So you mean that you could tell which shaving soap had lanolin in?
Why are we suddenly talking about shaving soap?
Oh, no reason. That’s interesting though, good girl, good girl.
Hmmm (suspiciously)
