    Anbbas Tux - Haslinger Honig - Wabbit V2.1 - Schick Proline B#2 - Superdrug Forest Fresh A/S - Aloe Vera Gel

    A recent addition to my collection. My very own Wabbit, printed by my son. It has the modified head which can take the round magnets readily available here in the UK.
    The shave with the Proline blade was superbly smooth and close.

    Cheer up!
    I have the same feelings toward the sun and it seems unwilling to leave these lands!
    Should we swap? :D

    On an overly bright October day at its end, I reflect on the speed this month has passed with and what has characterized it.

    And I feel very proud of being Italian, considering how much I have worked hard for be born in Italy.
    Of course, the bureaucratic paperwork I had to go through in order to do it and the fact that I received the guarantee that I could be born in Finland "as per my request" should have put me on notice and hold me back from pointing out the error and having it corrected.

    Now I know reindeers don't lay eggs and I am a glutton for them, so maybe I did the right thing after all.

    Even today alternating light and gray created problems for me on the choice of soap.
    Yesterday I used a very good and neglected soap, today a very good one and a little more widespread.
    It lost much of its almond scent, but the one left was pleasant and not chemical.

    The lathering capabilities of the Albionic brush made it load in very few turns and the foam was really excellent.
    An inadvertent shaving in which the mildness of razor and blade played a decisive role.

    A shave without history, but very pleasant and I will not spoil it with pompous statements that is possible to obtain an excellent shave with products with a really low cost.
    And I would be as credible as a politician under election: I like scents too much!
