Sitting with a cup of double espresso made from selected Colombia beans newly shaved and happy. Has already selected the cigar for the evening, a Bolivar Coronas Extra from 2007, what a wonderful smell of autumn forest floor, hay and leather!
What brought me to this fantastic feeling of baby face was todays selection in my shaving den. First a Thiers-Issard 6/8 in Snakewood got a few gentle strokes on my Naniwa 12000, then the Scrupleworks linen and leather strop finished the job. Paired the TI with a Shavemac D01 two band 26mm and TOBS Lavender. Warm and exceptional lather was per usual delivered from my SW XL scuttle. Two passes did the trick, finished with alum block and Fitjarsoap Miklagard aftershave cream.
Now the hard work of selecting this evenings champagne will start, work this weekend, so Thursday evening will be my personal enjoyment including fine wine and cigars this week.
Wish all a great Thursday!
