Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W |
Razor: Maxtom |
Brush: C2 - 2 band |
Soap: Cyril R Salter French Vetiver |
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel |
AS: Vetiver de Carven |
EDT: Vetiver de Carven |
Summary: We had another gorgeous hot and sunny day (the last few days of the year) but you can tell it's coming to an end and colder times are ahead of us. I love to use the more earthy scents for those colder winter days. What's not better than my 'Numero Uno' choice of Vetiver. Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a vetiver junkie ;). The stronger, earthier and pungent the better. The C2 badger brush is such a dream to use. It's a great brush that not only fits my hands like a glove but also whips up a ton of lather in no time. I also had to test shave a Maxtom so combined with the Vetiver it turned out a total bliss. I couldn't be happier. It was the perfect combo. I got extra approval from both the Missus and Vivi. :D |
We're heading to the end of the month. Wishing everyone a great, super enjoyable new week! |
Great start to the week already
Awesome start to the week guys, "B" Way to go brother, what do doctors know anyway that's why they "Practice" medicine :) Love the Gold Kitty :tu
The word of the day for my shave is SMOOTH... I am going Japanese this week for my personal shaves, saw Earthdawn's SOTD yesterday and it got me motivated.. Started the week off with my Iwasaki...
