I picked out a brush I seldom use. The Mühle silvertip brush. This is a very soft brush that is good at whipping up a generous amount of lather. But it is too soft on the face, have no backbone and I usually prefer a brush that offers up some resistance when applying the lather to my face. But since I have it in my possession, I have an obligation to use it at least once a year.
This was the fifth shave with the Iridium Super blade, and it was still as good as new. A very good shaver, I give it top marks for sharpness, smoothness and now also longevity. I have only 32 blades remaining in my stash, so I have to find a new source for these excellent blades.
Last, but not least I managed to relocate the world best cream, the Maca Root from The Body Shop. It was reported missing and a search party was sent out to find it. It was successful and despite its recent ordeal, managed to give me an outstanding shave.
Williams Ice Blue was my favourite aftershave in my early teens. I liked the scent so much I purchased a whole liter of the stuff, and that was before I had started shaving properly

Now, not so much.
I am a few months shy of turning 40, and I am probably trying to reconnect to my lost youth by using Aqua Velva Ice blue again. I have been told that it is the same stuff, although I am not sure that my olfactory memory (is that a thing) agrees with that.
