  4. Of course! Dreaming is one of the few pleasant cheap and tax-free things left! :D

    A 2 weeks vacation in Rome: it must have been pleasant.
    How many ruins and museums did you see?
    How much weight did you gain? :D

    Wonderful vacation? I know: it's pretty famous!

    Clear but, thankfully, rainy morning.
    Only got out a short time to stock up on books: now I'm ready to overcome any isolation!

    Woke up at 9:30: good thing I didn't have to go to school!

    And I wanted to reuse the triple tallow soap of my colleague Drughet: a fantastic lathering accompanied by the scent of warm oranges.

    An orange EdT, like 4711, would not have sustained those notes: it is too cheerful!
    The Vicious, on the other hand, while not exactly orangey, has very warm citrusy, spicy notes.

    I reiterate the tonsorial efficiency of Pal and its mildness: on a minimal growth, it has done an excellent job.

    I feel selfish not being able to share my allure, but the lockdown is the lockdown.
    And, even without it, it's not like there are that many people here to admire it.

  19. Pre shave: Hot shower and Neutrogena face wash
    Blade: Personna Med (2)
    Razor: 53' Gillette Super Speed
    Brush: Maggards 26mm Black and White Synthetic set in a Orange Agate handle that I turned over the weekend
    Soap: Stirling Executive Man

    I just set the knot in this handle Monday night and gave it a first run this morning. I couldn't be happier with it. It is a lather building monster. It is a little bigger that I am used to but I think I like the bigger brush.
