2020-12-25, Friday

Nice wake up this morning at six: it was dark, but I could feel the rain in the air and as soon as there was light, I saw a beautiful Christmas mist.

Last night I realized I was slightly hungry so I fixed myself a typical dinner from the Milan area: zürcher geschnetzeltes with rösti with a Müller Thurgau. And Sicilian cannoli.
The people from here know how to eat!

Having been up from an ungodly hour, I collapsed early, not without enjoying some Noomi Repace.

And this morning, I invested some of my time as a retiree in choosing the soap. I smelled quite a few to pick the beloved Ten.
The choice of soap determined the choice of brush. The razor was the forgotten EJ which always offers excellent performance, especially with a blade like the SOC.

A satisfying breakfast officially sanctioned the end of the beginning of this day that I hope will continue in an acceptable way..

By the way, my camera fell on the floor: trivial.... If it had fallen on the ceiling I would have had a conversation topic!
Anyway, it's not working anymore and I've had to satisfy your daily need for artistic photos using my cell phone (probably next step will be to make calls with the washing machine...) that doesn't have 5 cameras and a top level SW: it's just a tool to do what the name implies: make phone calls. Coverage permitting...
So, for once, be content!

Christmas Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Old Spice Original Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #313 Badger
Triceratops 3d Printed Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

I woke up this morning to my first White Christmas. Yep, we got a light dusting here in Hendersonville, NC. The wife was really excited. She is from Ohio and misses the snow. I had a great Christmas shave today. The Old Spice Original Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #313 Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Triceratops 3d Printed Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
