Luxury Shave Day...
Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil and feel for the occult
Acqua di Parma Luxury Shave Cream
Simpson's X2L Ehsan 2 Band Super
Wacker Old Sheffield No.4 Stosser 13/16ths
SRD Premium I Strop .. 40 Linen/85 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Spanish Floïd Suave
First and foremost, thanks to Curtiss (Scissors) for his kindness and generosity in sending the Acqua di Parma sample for today's shave.
I must admit to feeling a bit jaded about all the praise heaped on this cream, but I'm here to tell you that it is amazing stuff! A little dab explodes into a mountain of creamy lather, and Scissors was right on in his recommandation to treat it like soap and pre soften it with a bit of water... A real luxury product... and since most of my choices are pretty pedestrian, I can tell the difference!
The Wacker added to the illusion of a man in the lap of luxury rather than just another face in the crowd (which I try my best to avoid!)..
A great shave for (hopefully) a quiet Sunday..

Yes, it does shave as good as It looks. I bought my two from John at the Shavingshop.
