SOTD: 29/07/2022
Razor: Rockwell 6s #3
Blade: Gillette Nacet, 5th use
Brush: Simpsons Trafalgar
Bowl: Simpsons Travel Bowl
Preshave: Proraso Refreshing Pre Shave Cream
Soap: Lea Menthol Shaving Cream
Aftershave: Fine Snake Bite Aftershave
Balm: Proraso Green Balm
Additional Care: Shave Tunes Courtesy Of The Rat Pack
Additional Care: Wife Sniff Test = Er, You Are Not Going To Wear That Out In Public Are You?
Menthol shave today and the Snakebite was colder than a penguins flip flop.
Off to the Trafford Centre to do some shopping, no doubt will land up at the smelly counter of a big department store so I didn't want anything with an overpowering smell on me before I begin. (Can't see anything being better than my all time number one scent - Southern Witchcrafts Desairology though).
The Nacet was on shave 5 and was retired, it had more in it but I have others to try.

Enjoy, but it will feel very odd. I had the same feeling when I left the army. Now I’m looking forward to my next retirement in about 10 years.Friday 29th July

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

Swapped the ATT G1 out early for a good close shave as my wife has won tickets to a Private screening of a new kids film DC’s Superpets. All I know is we get to go to London for the day at Warner Studio’s cinema screening and the kids are flying already without the aide of Krypto or Superman!
Love the Seaforth Spiced Lime and the fact it’ll last all day is a necessary plus with being down in the tube and on trains all day!

The Treet blade worked much better in the Blackbird. This morning it took just two passes for a close and very comfortable shave. The Trumper’s cream is certainly excellent.Blackland Signature

They would claw their way out and slap us up side our heads! Well, not mine, I'm a cheap bastage, grandpappy C would approve.
