    I know that many people tend not to take most of the things I write seriously, which is quite annoying considering the seriousness that distinguishes me.

    And many will not believe that I have chosen a lavender cream today.
    Instead it is so and I have proof of it. And I can prove it!

    I'm leaving you now because I'm looking at the restoration of what, for me, is the most beautiful sports car (definition that I context) ever built: a 300 SL MB (Möwenflügel) in which the engine and transmission of the Adenauer, after having characterized the austerity of a luxury sedan, have collected awards in races around the world!

    Ive had some beautiful shaves over the last month, eventually getting 15 shaves from the BIC chrome platinum. Super impressed with this blade, superb longevity and fantastic sharpness too, just below feather I'd say.

    I used bundubeard rooi Afrikaner for 14 of the 15 shaves, and i must say, I've definitely found my new daily driver soap, fantastic slickness in par with my beloved arko, but with an artisan worthy scent.

    I tend to prefer tallow based soaps, so I'm super glad that theres a great locally available tallow soap.

    I replaced the BIC with a gillette silver blue which i was pretty excited about using because I've never tried that blade, bit unfortunately it turned out to be a dud and tugged horribly, so i replaced it with my go to blade which is the feather hi-stainless after the first use.

    This month was also my Fabergé month where i used brut by Fabergé exclusively, and im glad to be using aftershaves again after using balms all winter, but now that spring is here, my aftershaves will get a lot more use.

    Shave 1:
    Razor: Gillette super speed flair tip (UK)
    Blade: BIC chrome platinum (1)
    Soap: arko shave stick
    Brush: omega 49
    Aftershave: brut by Fabergé

    Shave 2-15:
    Razor: Gillette super speed flair tip (UK)
    Blade: BIC chrome platinum (2-15)
    Soap: Bundubeard Rooi Afrikaner
    Brush: omega 49
    Aftershave: brut by Fabergé[​IMG][​IMG]

    SEptember is going by quickly. It is Day 8, and up today is my gold Ever-Ready 1914.

    The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #340 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready 1924 razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
