18 February 2021 An accidental yet perfect software pairing for a snowy morning here in SE Pennsylvania. I customarily plan out the week's shave Sunday mornings and take the pics at that time.Little did I know my area would be under a Winter storm warning through Friday morning. I really like the Speick cream's scent and performance. Very soothing post shave feel.

Oh... It's easily explained: I am an idiot! These days I'm having more troubles with my eyes and I am easily distracted.... I apologize... Thje Abbazia di Casamari is a balm not in the picture. The bottle looks like a Penhaligon's one because it's the Sartorial which I normally couple to The Ten! And... thank you!

2021-02-19, Friday It's a gray February day even though, at that hour, I couldn't see it. When choosing soap in the morning, I get lost in the brobdingnagian amount of different bowls. Then... I always fall on the same ones. It also happens with razors. I'm making an effort to use the razor blades I have, but it's just an economic issue: wet shaving is mainly about saving money! And, saving money, I have achieved a very satisfactory epidermal smoothness and I'm spreading beauty and the fragrances that I prefer. I offer you a sleazy photo to immortalize the event...
