That walnut I got for LE was really beautiful

You also treated the wood to make it very nice to touch.

I don't shave down there! Oh, year you say?
Sorry, couldn't resist

Random selection today but a pleasing combo. Someone PIFfed me the MSC splash, apologies I can't remember who now, but it's one of my favourites. Restoring to the skin and a pleasant, if powerful, scent.

Highlander Bog Oak & Butterscotch Omega Boar
Declaration Grooming MOTI

TGS Witch Hazel & Cucumber
Proraso Blue Pre-Shave (as post shave)

A delightful, de-stressing, smooth evening shave. Really enjoying trying out all of these PIF samples. Tonight it was Declaration Grooming’s Massacre of the Innocents. Another stellar soap - v cushioning and super slick - I think the slickest soap I’ve tried. Scent was also strong and got even stronger once lathered. A masculine scent and really got tobacco & hints of vanilla coming through. Great end to the day

So, I had a bit of a tidy up (as you do!!) and dug out my original Jagger De89 special edition, the one with the knurled handle. These razors really are very good. Comfortable in the hand, nicely balanced and grippy. They give an excellent shave.
Coupled with a Lord Silver Star blade and some creamy Palmolive lather whipped up by my Yaqi synthetic. It was most enjoyable.

A little dab of CK Obsession and I am good to go.
