He is unmistakable, I remember when Olga used to play locally, he always whipped his shirt off and we all shouted
"where's he gone?" All good fun. Sang songs about the area and the infamous local nightclub owner.

And then moved to Tokyo for a few years as I learnt today. He did a lot to lift the Japanese punk scene. And what a guitarist.

My Shave today consisted of...
Prep, Proraso preshave balm.
Soap, Extro The End
Razors, Merkur Progress, Setting 4,2 & 1.
Leaf Razor for my head.
Blades, Derby Extra & Feather.
Aftershave, Extro The End
Brush. Mountain Best 100% pure badger brush.
My first time out with my new Merkur Progress, I have been looking forward to testing it out so decided on a 3 pass shave today just so I can get a feel of the blade on my face at the various settings.
I definitely notice the difference between it and the Fatboy and TBH I think this razor shaves better but I will really know in time.
In my hand the size and weight felt very nice and it left me feeling marvellous with a BBS magnificent shave , the wife gives it a face snog score of 9, so a happy wife is a headache free wife.
Thank you for reading and stay safe out there.

A very pleasant, smooth, comfortable shave this morning. Signature soap and the Yaqi Dandelion brush work so incredibly well together, and look good too.

Thanks, I bought a dandelion brush on the back of one of your earlier posts to match the label colour ( and it’s a great brush too).

This afternoon -

razor - Mergress (3)
blade - Gillette Yellow (2)
brush - Frank Shaving two-band 22mm
soap - PAA - CaD
post - witch hazel
a/s - 4711
balm - none
scent - Eau Sauvage edp.

All good. When a Progress grows up - and reaches maturity - the knob changes - much like a lot of us, I guess. :). Note to self - other shaving brushes are available in the den. Enjoy shaving, one and all - yours - I.
 
Tue 6th SOTD
Soap Stirling Orange Chill
Brush Yaqi 22mm Ever-Helpful
Razor Karve Brass SB-D
Blade Gillette London Bridge 1st
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + TGS Orange Empire
Excellent lather from the soap! The refreshing scent, cooling, creamy and slick!!
Shave with razor paired with the blade is one of the perfect combinations! Very enjoyable, easy, smooth, and comfortable in 3passes for a dolphin smooth result. Aftershaves were fantastic!
