A series of shaves themed, 'Fanfares, train fares and bus fares'
I am back from the dead. The darkened World of the scruffy faced bastards. Well, not quite as I have been offshore for a few days and out of touch with the world. Great. And not say I didn't shave either. So you can have a terrific value three for one SOTD.
The first shave I made on Saturday morning at 0030 and I really thought I was going to beat Mr Mild Green Fairy Liquid Fox to the first entry, but shit, I got a join earlier call. Bollocks. The best laid plans of mice and men where the mice usually have the better plans. Anyway, onwards I go in to the murky world of SOTD's.

Fanning - Tatara Nodachi
Faring - Polsilver Lodz
Electric fans - Zenith dark synthetic
Fairy fans - Signature Soaps Condate
Fairy fannies - M&S Spiced Amber
'That's Palmolive products for you. Crap'
It must have been a good shave as I can't recall swearing at the mirror. All terrific products and I must say the Condate is creeping up my soapy ranks. A possible Londinium beater? Perhaps not, but getting there.
A happy Saturday morning. Until some git called me. Another day Barry, another day.

'And the crowds caught the next train to getaway from this SOTD'
I guess I must be rather like this Tatara and the blade if I recall is on a fifth outing which is quite an achievement with a Lodz. Yes they are sharp, yes they are superbly smooth but not the best when it comes to longevity. So overall something is working. ADP? Absolutely wonderful and somewhat chuffed to have a jar still on the go.
It must have been quite a stunning shave as this evening really was nothing more than a buff.... Read on if you really can be bothered....
But before any further reading please feel tempted by some Japanese ladies...
And finally this evening's shave themed, 'Bus Fares'

After last night's wonderfully close shave not that much to shift really and so a general buff up while generally in the buff. But a lovely bit of me time and a great end to quite a lovely day.
Londinium vs Condate? Sorry Condate, step aside for the God of Soaps.
And step aside for those Beavers...
