    Ya Gary, like that had to be a chore. ;) You'd think in the last 85 years they'd have learned to improve DE razors. :D

    Happy Friday Amici! Though it might not feel the same, for the sake of some semblance of normality it’s the weekend! Today’s razor of choice is my 1960 Gillette Adjustable...yup, a Fatboy Friday! Loaded up with a Gillette Platinum and set to 4 for a very nice and easy shave.

    Soap of the day is Italian Barber Amici which is the Italian word for friends. Great Spring and Summer scent for sure! Grapefruit, lemon and orange mixed with some spice. Though it is dull and dreary here I have Spring in my heart! Lovely scent and a great performing soap.

    Lovely and leisurely three pass shave. Smooth as can be. Topped it off with some Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza. Torn between it and the original as both could easily be my signature scent.

    Enjoy the day and enjoy your weekend. Stay safe.
