Cologne - Bellini Homme (Lidl Sauvage clone)

A rare trip out of the house to meet a family friend and see their new baby, one of the few times I am bothered enough to put on cologne, the Lidl Sauvage clone which is a Citrus musk scent pairs well with the Superdrug Sierran Breeze splash.

I'm really enjoying using the Wild Hog brush, it produces a lovely lather with the Lea Professional cream. The shave itself with the Perma Sharp and BET was another cracker.

Have a good weekend chaps.

A nice relaxed Shave this morning before doing a few hours officiating at a meeting in South London. What a change after previous meets, down to shirt sleeves.

Right week - this time.

This afternoon -

razor - ATT Calypso alu - R plate
blade - Gillette Yellow (2)
brush - Frank Shaving two-band 22mm
soap - Ach Brito Lavanda
post - witch hazel
a/s - Quorum
balm - Bart's Lavender lotion
scent - Homme de Caron edt.

Pretty much the dictionary definition of a nice relaxing shave - lavender soothes the savage breast - not that I was feeling particularly savage before - how angry can you get spending the day writing letters? - but super chilled now. All I need to do now is work up the energy to go out for some cold ones. Not the most taxing of days. Cheers all - I.

Finally got the right week and now is the time to go enjoy those cold ones. Couldn't think of a better moment.

Be well.

PS. Wish this end was the same but this has been one grind of a day and still not finished until the early hours. Then off to Yorkshire for the internment of my father's ashes. Finally after all this lock down and nearly five months down the line. But he will back with mum tomorrow afternoon.

A nice bit of early morning sink time today.
A very thick, slick, face-lather from the MWF and Chubby synth, The Dart fitted with the Voskhod, its also been a while since i used one of these, i do have a 100 pack in the "box of plenty" as i did find them good to use in most razors, (they seemed all the rage a few years ago on the blade merry-go-round) not the sharpest blade in the box and i find them smooth, so ideal for the Dart.
I completed a WTG pass using short, light strokes and this cleared most of the stubble, the second pass was a ATG/XTG mix again using short, light and deliberate targeted strokes on my stubborn areas, after a rinse off, i am done, BBS in 2.
1st time use of the Baxter's, I jumped on the at around the £4 mark, you need very little, it does smell a bit synthetic compared to most i use but does the job. A splash of Pinaud giving some indication on the jawline although nothing much.
Very happy with that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
