Greetings,
Early morning shave...because i've worked the last few bank holidays at the mill my supervisor has giving me a few extra holidays and days in lieu, so my weekend starts today...Yeah
!!!
Yesterday evening i was going through my shaving arsenal picking out items for my SOTD set ups for the coming week and realised that my software/hardware was starting to creep upon me again , after adding a few new 'not really need shaving related items'....So after much thought, 'yet again' i've decided to have another ruthless den clean out with items that are just gathering dust, which i've totally neglected and know with all honesty i won't ever use....This is what happens when you buy things on impulse, i've only myself to blame,no one else.
I've separated them all, to be passed on to family & friends,which will to be put to good use.I feel much better for doing so...My intentions now are to use all that remains in my shaving den more often than i should, and most importanly no more impulsive buying with shaving related items.
All my SOTD's throughout the week have been consistantly good,my shave this morning was no exception..
The vintage ever-ready SE razor are such a joy to shave with once you become familiar with them, granted there is a learning curve with them. 'like any other razor, having to adjust and find your shaving angle take a few shaves, but with patience & shaving confidence your rewarded with some sublime error-free silky smooth shaves.
I've enjoyed bowl lathering throughout the week, it takes longer to create a lather but it's worth the effort and time to be rewarded with a great lather.As always the monsavon soap created a superb slick lather for my shave leaving a equally post shave feel...Fantastic soap which i highly recommend to anyone who hasn't yet tried it.
A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups bbs shave. with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Sensitive Cooling Post Shave Balm.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
