While it may be warmer than winter, it’s as wet and grey as winter, so I gave myself a treat with the light, fresh, sea-sidey shave with P&B’s Trafalgar. It’s sadly now discontinued, but I have insured I have adequate stock to keep me going for a while. :)

I used the Chubby 3 in the shower and the creamy lather was a joy. The splash is just as good and lasts for a good few hours. Think ozone, freshness and being near the sea. Superb stuff!

Stay safe and enjoy your shaves!

Aramis Tuscany aftershave

The cream is one of the love-it-or-hate it ones, and I love it, especially when its lather is toned down by a few drops of the rose absolute. For some reason the razor/blade combination was extraordinarily smooth today. And the citrus-fougère Tuscany aftershave is always wonderful.

Gillette Platinum (1) White
Brut Alaska Aftershave

After a trio of shaves with the (new) Gillette Platinum in the blue pack, I'm trying out the older white pack ...

I have some notes from years ago, where I rated these blades at 3.5/5 which is about right as I'm now fully decimal and the blue pack pulled (just) a 7/10. Happy to say, I had a mildly better first shave with the (older) white pack. Smoother, where the blue pack was just rough. Sharp enough for a single pass with a few touch-ups.

All good, though ...

Yoghurty thick lather from the MWF and a good splash of Brut Alaska, which is not a million miles in scent from Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla; more green than it is snowy. Perhaps they should have called it Brut Iceland?

Lather: OSP - grey soap scent?
Post Shave: Figaro Bluice, Bart's balm - Specimen D

Great first outing with MMOC. Little bit bitey in 2-3 places but other than that excellent shave. 2 passes got me a DFS+ . Not too bad considering it was MMOC.
