When I wrote 'what a beautiful razor' on the BST thread of Sr Looney12345 selling his Timeless razor I never quite expected to be the owner of said object of desire, but temptation got the better of me. As I PM'd him, 'this is a razor I want to sit at the side of the sink and stare at'. Fortunately I resisted the staring and actually got around to using it. I will write elsewhere my thoughts on the razor but all I can say is 'What a Wonderful Life'. It is heaven in stainless steel.
The cream again another 'temptation of Chris' with OSP stupidly offering an Easter carrot of 25% off their creams. I must be a donkey. As I wrote to James at OSP; I found the fragrance a little strange at first but I have warmed to it after a number of uses and the scent does last further than the plughole. It also happens to be a nice base for my ADP colognes which I dearly love. Other than that a wonderful satisfying cream which performs its heart out. Everything it says on the plastic tub.
Because of my love for ADP I decided the fragrance for this evening was to be Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet. Despite it lasting a little further than the plughole but not much further than the bottom of the stairs I do love its zesty sharp tones and flavours.
Altogether an Oscar winning performance this evening and a real red carpet of a shave. I walk away from the shaving stage (read sink) a happy man with a terrifically film star smooth appeal
Sotd - Sunday - 15/4/18
Razor - Rockwell 6c (2)
blade - Polsilver SI (6 and out)
brush - Simpsons P8 Phyl LE
soap - OSP Sicilian Lemon Grove cream
post - witch hazel
a/s - OSP Lemon and Cedarwood
balm - BBA
scent - Creed Bois de Portugal parfum.
Result - top end - the sort of endy topness that suggests it studied at St. Top-Ends college Cambridge. Getting a First.
An odd thing happened when I left home today - there was a strange shiny orb in the sky - it seemed to radiate heat. What was it? The afterburner of an alien spacecraft - who knows - no need to worry - I'll probably never see it again. Ha ha - Spring might indeed have sprung in Glasgow. Took its fu****g time. I really didn't need to shave today - but I couldn't resist - I've just been enjoying my shaves so much recently. God bless the Rockwell - it has redefined for me - how good a de razor can be. Backed up by the OSP software - I've yet to meet one of their products that wasn't exemplary. Job done - sod the ADP let's go for the real deal - Creed. I smell gorgeous - and still do - not my opinion - I was told so - but I happen to agree. Expensive but worth every penny. Certain things in life should never be done cheaply. Scent is one of them. Modesty and decency forbid me suggesting the others. Enjoy your shaves gentlemen and the week ahead - yours I.
Short rant ahoy - I had to plan my day around there being a 'festival of hate' aka an Old Firm Game - Rangers vs Celtic at Hampden - which I live close to. Glasgow has changed dramatically in my 50 years of mostly living here. The city has successfully re-invented its self - but this sort of vile sectarian pish persists. It ought to be a historical anachronism by now. It is shameful. I kind of understood that drinking and pishing in the street, singing sectarian songs was illegal. Could somebody point that out to Police Scotland - who seem to take the approach that 'if we can't see them, they can't see us.' Sorry - rant over - it pisses me off. Self evidently. Growing up in this part of the world has largely informed my loathing of football.
