    Thumbs up Sun August 21st - Sat August 27th

    .
    Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
    Razor: Filarmonica EPBD 14
    Brush: Simpson PJ3
    Cream: Mühle Aloe Vera
    Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
    AS: Karl Lagerfeld Classic
    EDT: Karl Lagerfeld Classic
    Summary: The time sure flies but summer is only halfway in Vegas. Another hot and sunny day. We're expecting 44C/111F the whole week. The Aloe Vera shaving cream definitely helped moisturize my face. I had grown some whiskers so what's not better than my Filarmonica 14. Turned out I was right. BBS and super smooth feeling skin. Enjoy the new week.

    Not used this razor since I acquired it at xmas, gave it the coti treatment last night (jeez I love that hone). It's a lovely looking razor and gave a nice finish but the tang is a little thin so it wants to twist in your fingers and it also weighs next to nowt - a delicate touch needed.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend

    Unhurried, comfortable BBS shave. Sunday shaves to music is one of the finer things in life.
    A good start of a beautiful day. It’s already almost 18C / 64F outside
    so I’ll get started making Sunday brunch, which I’m going to enjoy outside on my deck.
    Pancakes, eggs and bacon with a bear-sized puddle of Canadian maple syrup on top.

    Have a wonderful week..
