A magnificent thick but light rain: like a white noise ...
But, once in the bathroom, it turned to an intense pink noise.
I went back to the bedroom and turned down the volume on Chet Baker's album, the same as on Sunday:
Such a rain deserved the role of soloist and the trumpet was a perfect accompaniment.

But to talk about physical things, the Slim Adjustable (first at 5 and then at 3) did a great job even though the Feather was on its last lap.

The Floris has an inebriating scent, even if it's a hair too cheerful: but it's always a pleasure, even if combined with the Vicious...





Sapone PS: Valobra Glicerolanolina
Sapone: Floris, # 89
Pennello: Zenith, Silvertip, 26 mm
Rasoio: Gillette, Slim Adjustable Aristocrat 1963
Lametta: Feather
AS: MilMil, Figaro Gel
EdT: Vicious, Ira
ST: Chet Baker

 

Tabacstag!
I haven't used the new long comb in a while and it was a good shave. Tabac never fails.

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Gillette New Long Comb
Blade: Voskhod
Brush: Lutin Chubby Lightning
Pre-Shave: PAA Cube 2.0 Menthol
Lather: Tabac Original
Aftershave: Tabac Original

 

Tuesday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM
Gold Dachs SS
Prep ASB
Booster Mosswood AS Splash

This Gold Dachs a magnificent soap from Germany and very popular over there. Its scent is so lovely in a very old school European way, its lather is so THICK, rich, as well as protective, and it leaves such a comfortable postshave feeling. The Prep and the Booster Mosswood aftershave were a perfect finish. Smooth as silk after three delightful passes!

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac
Jayaruh #41
Schick 66 G-4
Schick Proline
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #41 Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Schick 66 G-4 razor with a Schick Proline blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I love the sound of rain. its an oft missed natural treasure

 

Loved rain, its music, and storms since I can remember: I could not even look out of the window as i was too short!
And the window, in my studio is right in front of me and can watch it as much as I want!

The cello music is perfect to underline rain sound: never thought of that! Thank you!

 

awesome shaves and pics gentlemen..
