    Thanks Gary, you guys coerced me into using a TTO. It’s been a while and it was a good shave both face and head.

    Clean and simple on a Sunday is what I was looking for. Palmolive shave sticks are pretty awesome travellers, easy to use and small. Lovely clean barbershop scent is what I get from it. Nothing fancy just good. Takes nothing to lather really and is good for what it is.

    Today’s razor an equally no fuss razor in the 1963 Slim. Pick a setting from mild to wild and have at it. Loaded up with a GSB and set to 3 on the dial. Nice and smooth.

    Lovely two pass DFS achieved because the schedule is full and there is lots to do. Topped off with some vintage Palmolive Balsamo (from Spain) to match the scent of the shave and quick spritz of Guerlain L’eau Boisee and we’re good to go. Enjoy your Sunday and your shaves!
