Max,
Magnifique...Truly beautiful scales on your razor.
A decidedly floral shave today. I used hot towels before and during my shave and really felt the benefit. My skin feels like silk and I smell amazing.

Sunday 31st January 2010
I woke at about 9.00am and as the fog in my mind slowly lifted I realised today was Sunday.
The cold air coming in from the open bedroom window told me it was cold today, and as I looked out
across the frozen countryside my thoughts turned to one thing Coffee!
Once downstairs I lit the fire, and as my morning began I checked my mail, a few from coticule.be
A couple junk mails, and an update from S.O.T.D
3 Cups of Java and the same number of Handrolled Cigarettes later, I was ready to begin my morning Ritual.
The shower was hot, the Wrights Coal Tar Soap smelled delicious, and the musky scent from the Diesel Fuel for Life
Shower Gel left me feeling Squeaky clean.
I towelled my self down, leaving my face wet, ready to take a nice slick coating of Prorasso Crema Pre Barba,
After soaking my Men-U Boar Shave Brush, and Denby Bowl, I made a rich thick lather with the Ingram Cream and massaged in into my beard.
The T.R.Cadman Bengall Razor was shave ready, fresh off the Coticule and stropped 60 linen, 60 leather only last night,
as I bought the blade hot from the water, resting its side gently under my nose the smell of hot steel made my smile, I love that smell, first pass of the Filtrum was smooth as silk and the sound of stubble giving way to steel was a clear indication that we were under way!
3 passes later the Bengall washed, dried and stropped, a Cold Water Rinse was followed by a gentle rub with the Thayers Witch Hazel, Diesel Fuel for Life Aftershave Balm and Prorassoo Dopobarba, sealed the deal.
Diesel Fuel For Life Aftershave Lotion bought my face to a wonderfull BBS conclusion, the only thing left to do was apply a nice coating of Trumpers Skin Food in Lime to protect my face against the winters cold.
After all that MK2 VW golf is not going to wash itself now is it!!
- Razor: Premio de Honor 1907 (most probably a re-branded Filarmónica)
- Rooney 3/2 Super
- SMN
- Thayers + Weleda + YSL Rive Gauche loción y EdT
