OOH LA LA!

 

Nice close up Jim!

 

Aug. 6, 2020 - Sharp and Sweet

• Prep: Hot Shower
• Brush: Washington Blue Steel B6
• Razor: Gillette Red Tip (US)
• Blade: GIllette 7'o'clock (yellow) (1)
• Lather: Declaration Grooming - Dirtyver - Soap
• Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - La Petite Prairie - Toner
• Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - La Petite Prairie - Eau de Toilette

Mix and matched the scents today but I spent the night dealing with this fussy house guest, which I am also allergic to - resulting in lack of sleep and a stuffed up nose. However, the shave was quite enjoyable.

My second use of the red tip razor - I find it quite similar to the US-Aristocrat Jr. The shave is very smooth and quite mild with the 7 o'clock blade. I think I'm going to stick with this razor for a week or so to find the sweet spot for a good shave. It does not have the bite and blade feel that the UK-AJ has.

LPP is very good. I installed the atomizer today and gave myself a couple sprays but was actually disappointed because I couldn't smell that much at all. That's when I realized my nose was quite stuffed up - I couldn't really taste my breakfast this morning too. Ah well - still a good scent and I hope my nose clears up through the day so I can enjoy the scent more.

 

fine red tip shave and pic..

 

Thank you, gentlemen.

picked up some old school drakkar for the first time about a week ago. Liking it alot. Doesn't seem to last long on my skin though. Either that or this scent gives me olfactory fatigue pretty quickly. nevertheless it is still good. Haven't used my stirling deep blue sea in a while thought I'd break it out again before the summer is over.

 

Nice pic Gary!
