Nice shave this morning, still can't put my finger on the difference between this and old spice, it seems there's a slight modern twist on it but the basic smell seems to be similar. Doesn't really matter to be fair as I'll use them both either which way.

Smooth and smelling good, roll on the weekend!

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

I authorise the commission piece to you, on the condition that it be created out of Palmolive Classic Shave sticks after my all time favourite shaving soap.

Your comments re Soaps are very true. If I want a guaranteed Shave I always settle for MWF, Vitos, Cyril Salter.
Think our Grandfathers would curl up if they saw the sums of money spent on Soaps/ Scents,
Better not mention Razors

Well the big day has arrived! Come 10pm it is going to feel very strange. On my own....Power off the equipment, switch off the lights and lock the door behind me....never to return.

The shave was excellent. 3 passes for a perfect result
 
Enjoy your well earned retirement, Brian.
I've often heard of people saying after retiring that they wondered how they found the time to go to work!
 
Congratulations !!
 
All the very best
