Today: drizzle, rain, and expecting snow. The Shave: simple and pleasant, This later Henckles shaves as well as any of the vintage ones, and holds an edge. The Nivea is a good companion when the weather changes. I still like the #4711 as it brings back memories of a period of time when I was first able to afford a bottle!
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Besides the big slit in my cheek it was a good shave. The razor despite being nearly NOS had no bevel. She was part of my razor hunt and I rescued her, giving her a good home. I gave it purpose again. She gives me purpose. Creepy? Yes. But better than sitting on my bed looking at the ceiling.

R. Herder 6/8. , ZWK XL, Mama bear liliac lavendel, silvertip brush , le male
Prep: 4 mile run, hot shower
Razor: Hart 6/8
Brush: Semogue Boar
Soap: Williams Mug
A/S: Pinaud Lilac Vegetal
Result: The Lilac Vegatal showed up yesterday, so I gave it a go this morning, a first for me. I kept it simple to see what this fragrance is all about. I'm still within the 30 minute window I've read about, but so far so good. I otherwise had a DFS, and Williams did a good job for me, as always. As for the Lilac Vegetal, the scent is very light, and for some reason, I'm smelling pancakes with maple syrup, which is making me hungry. Happy Friday to all!
