SOTD:
Some fantastic shaves this week, especially from the boots original shave stick, this stuff produces amazingly slick lather, and it has a wonderful old school scent. The gentleman's groom room malt n Myrtle has been one of my favourite soaps scent wise for a while now, and produces great lather with decent slickness, but it would be even better if they made a tallow based version. This feather is giving me amazing longevity having just completed its 13th shave.

The brut and the malt n myrtle make an almost unbeatable combination scent wise in my opinion.

Good morning

 

Tuesday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Shark day 4
RVT Lemon Cream SS
Fino ASB
Booster Iced Lime AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel EdP

One thing that I don’t want to do is to ignore Mo’s soaps because they’re all so good - the Lemon Cream’s lovely scent came out while I was lathering up and the lather itself was so rich, with lots of slickness and good blade glide. The Fino balm provided such great soothing and moisturizing, while the Booster Iced Lime aftershave made me smell and feel like I just got out of a barbershop. This aftershave’s scent is so nice and refreshing but it never clashes with any fragrance I wear. The Shark blade is still going strong, so I had a marvelous three pass BBS shave!

As promised I finally got around to the Timeless OC .95. Not only is it a beauty to behold the Timeless are super well made and the fit and finish quite nice indeed. Love the Timeless Bronze OC .78 also however, that is a different beast all together. The OC .95 is a really smooth shaver and today I loaded it up with a Kai SS.

Soap of the day H et V Cognac & Cuban Cigars. I love the scent and the quality of the soap but some have said that this soap doesn’t agree with them at all. Shame because the scent really is so good.

Lovely two pass DFS was all that was needed to get the day going. Rainy day but I wish you all safe travels and happy shaves.

But baby think of me once in a while
