Jeeeeeez, what a decadent shave this morning. I love my little brush, and I'm glad I didn't go for a bigger size. Very soft, works great on both soaps and creams, and holds enough lather for my 4+ passes.
Those old Wilkinsons (40 of em) were acquired at a flea market a while back, and I've used 3 blades in a row so far. Luckily, they perform really well for me, so I don't feel like I wasted the $1 paid for em..............heh. This morning they whisked through my healthy 2 days stubble without effort. Got a BBS shave with zero pulling or irritation.........not even a single tiny spot of red anywhere......heh. Very nice!
I do believe that soap used today is my very favorite scent of any shaving product I've ever sniffed. Of course, it helps that it performs amazingly well for me also. I've been nursing a tiny bit of the EdT in that scent.....hoping Colleen will start selling the stuff in quantity soon.
Gonna be a day for spontaneous facturbation..........is that wrong?

Martin, Yohji Homme is becoming a very rare delight these days, it's no longer sold here in Montreal. My edt and a/s bottles of it are running very low, and after they're finished, I guess it's over for me with that stuff. It really is a big pity.

 

Sunday's shave

Wilkinson Sword brush
Parker 22R version 2 with new 7 AM
Fax Sport shaving cream
Keri Moisturizing lotion
Mennen Skin Bracer Original aftershave

a bit of a nick on my chin from getting too bold, otherwise, a perfect shave. This Fax Sport stuff has a nice scent and lather, and it's very moisturizing as well. I heard it comes from the same company which makes another well-known brand.

Hi there Jeff,
I received this fragrance just yesterday, having included it with a few other things ordered from the lovely ladies at www.theperfumedcourt.com
Hehe, this was one I'd been meaning to try for a while, having read good things about it......not to mention the description and what notes are in that EdT.
So, it's only my second time trying this, and the jury's still out on the verdict. It can often take 4-5 times before I decide on a fragrance being in my small rotation or not. I kinda like it so far, otherwise I wouldn't bother wearing it more than once.
It ran me $6.50 for a 1.5 ml spray vial, so it ain't cheap. Still, it beats not being able to find it at all.....heh. I'm not sure if that site will ship to you, but it's one reliable source I thought I'd mention. If that doesn't work for some reason, then pm me.
Oh..... normally I'm not a big fan of amber scents....... most are either too powdery or sweet or feminine for my tastes. There's one that was on my recent order though, that is different. That would be the I Profumi de Firenze fragrance called 'Ambra del Nepal'. Very intense amber, tempered with a deep woodsy, resinous bite. Hehe, that one was a reorder.
Hope that helps,
Martin
Oh........I apologize to the readers for the thread sidetrack here.

Omega 618 brush, 100% Puro Tasso
DR Harris Almond shave soap (Dirty Bird Shave Mug)
Caswell-Massey Lime aftershave lotion
Caswell-Massey Lime balm
Caswell-Massey Lime Cologne Water

Caswell-Massey’s Lime balm is not as good as my Aqua Velva Ice balm, but it’s pleasant none the less. Unfortunatly, I think Caswell-Massey stopped making it. Oh well, at least I still have three bottles of it.
