Brazil, Brazil, bloody Brazil. It's all we ever hear.

I think you spent too much time being influenced by the ladies (and so would I. And was) and in need of some therapy.

To be honest i’m wanting out of here,
This is my 5th week and i first came here in December which means i’ll be doing 18 weeks here when i eventually get home next week.
But i reckon she would be worth staying for

Coffee - Tatara Nodachi
Football - Polsilver Lodz
Carnival - Zenith dark synthetic
Copacabana - Bath House Spanish fig and nutmeg
Caipirinha - Collegen
Nuts - M&S Spiced Amber
'You did say blow'

After my last below par performance with the Nodachi this was its opportunity to prove its worthiness. Its chance to show it could shave a Brazilian without pulling and tugging. Oddly something I am quite used to.

Throw a new blade in the mix and go go go. And by jolly did it do some of that go go go thing. Superbly smooth and hellishly efficient demolishing whatever there was to demolish. Three passes to shaving heaven and in case you are curious, no I didn't give myself a Brazilian or anyone else either when I come to think about it. Just one wonderfully clean and close BBS finish and ready for a night out on the town in Rio De Janeiro. Unfortunately Bootle will have to be the best I can muster. Oh why did I bother? I couldn't even start to think what a Bootle shave would look like.

Have a most fantastic week ahead you people of TSR and I leave you with some ladies from Japan to sing you to sleep...

Oh did I mention it would be the ladies from Otoboke?

Razor: Occam’s Oren
Blade: Kai Captain Mild Blue, 5th use
Brush: Highlander Copper Colonel Plissoft Knot
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Mirto Di Sardegna
Aftershave: PAA Gondolier Cologne
Balm: Bart’s Balm Sample Balm

It’s getting close to the return of @Mike Smart, (unless he finds the lady from the above pictures) so I thought I’d give the Oren one last run out before returning it! Not that I want to after the near perfect shaves it gives! On its day it’s almost as close as a Vector without any of the aggression, it’s one of the few razors I’ve been lent that I don’t want to part with! It’s a delight to use every time!

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine. ;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:
 
Despite it being a work day, I had had this lined up for yesterday and was then away overnight so today's shave was the 1940s Fritz Bracht Tennis 5/8 extra hollow. This was my first razor when I got into wet shaving. Inspired by JJ's recent video I dug my Cella out, it's been a while but I do love the cherry bakewell almond scent, it's slick for the shave and leaves your skin feeling great. This was my first 'proper' soap when I started and I have a soft spot for it. My vintage Rubberset 400 has an Oumo boar knot in it, restored and given to me by Dave in Kentucky. I maybe need to work on the edge a little to get a real close shave, but 3 passes and some tidying round the chin saw me DFS.
Have a good week chaps.
