    I've had absolutely beautiful shaves over the last 3 weeks. Finally binned the derby in favour of a Gillette 7 o clock sharp edge. The Gillette blades are definitely one of my favourite blades, they maintain their sharpness longer than the feathers for me, but are admittedly less sharp on the first few shaves.

    I decided to give the body shop maca root another try after my bad experience with it last year, i found it lacked slickness. So i used more cream, ( about the size of two peas) which is more than i usually use compared to my tube creams. And low and behold, beautifully slick, cushioning lather! I loved it so much, that i used it for 6 shaves before moving on to my col conk lime puck, which requires longer loading than usual (around 20-25 seconds against my usual 15) because the puck is quite a bit smaller so the surface area in contact with the brush is smaller too.

    Overall fantastic shaves, and I'll definitely be re-writing the review i posted on this cream last year.

    Not all evil comes to harm!
    Thanks to my insomnia tonight I enjoyed a very nice movie, Whiplash, with an actor often relegated to insignificant particles or in which he could not express his talent: J. K. Simmons.
    And who won an Oscar for this film.

    The protagonist, Miles Teller, a good actor with a respectable career, disappears alongside Simmons.
    A good film, especially for those who love jazz and drums!

    I certainly could not aspire to any recognition for photography, even if today, given the light that was there at the unfortunate hour in which I shaved, for once, I would have an excuse ...

    This morning I felt like violet: in reality I would have already used it, but I forget about the lucious tube because I don't keep it in sight.

    A peanut of cream gave an incredible lather: two passes and touch ups and there was still enough left to repeat it all.
    And it also accepts repeated additions of water, until the preferred consistency is obtained.
    The blade and the razor accompanied me with their chirping giving an excellent shave despite the minimal growth.

    I couldn't violet myself at the end because I don't have any and between rose and lavender I chose the second one for a chromatic continuity, since that olfactory one was prevented.

    I went to the market and now my arm hurts with all the groupies asking for autographs...

    The Musgo Real Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #2 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher with a C.V. Heljestrand Wedge blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Thank you. I just love this razor. It was NOS when I got it. All I had to do was run it on the 12k about 50 laps give or take and is a dream to shave with.
