Monday

Close to perfect smoothness following this morning’s shave with the Schulze Wiener Schaber. I’ve been shaving with a straight for quite a few months now, and only now am I REALLY getting all areas of my face and neck completely ATG. You know what I mean (possibly); sometime you just go N to S, W to E, S to N, and not TRULY ATG for all areas…At least I do…

The Body Shop Macca Root amazed at its willingness to lather, as always. This is really a VERY good and easy to use cream; I’d forgotten how accommodating it was after not using it for a while. It may not be from some far flung place with an Ümlàût over every second character on the box, but it’s a very nice cream.

The Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar’s scent lasted all day as always; a nice choice I thin k I made for the all-day seminar or ‘planning day’ that I had to attend today. I was happy to see a lack of butcher’s paper and coloured crayons at the seminar, but there was that ever-present PowerPoint presentation, with presenters proudly demonstrating how adept they were at reading from the screen behind them; even if it did mean that they had to twist their body quite dramatically to see the screen. Don’t you HATE that?
