The Day? Bright and cold -9ºC. The Shave? I remember why i like these blades! The whole razor seems to be made to fit my face. Nivea as always was a good choice. Ultra Black por Homme is from a garage sale, I like it but do not know the maker.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

Wednesday evening - The "oops" shave
Hot water prep
Wade & Butcher FBU spike point razor - Silvertip badger brush - TOBS Sandalwood sc - cold water splash - T&H 1805 asb - Hot towel - LaLique white EdT
I call this the "oops" shave because of a freak incident. I had just touched up the W&B on the Thuri and was about to take off the tape on the spine, when the razor sort of slipped from my hands and made carpaccio of my thumb. A whole slice taken off. i was caught by surprise and started bleeding like a pig. Went downstairs, got bandage, taped it up, put a thumb of a rubber glove over it and continued my journey. "Big boys don't cry" was the motto here. Finished the shave to the tunes of Art Blakey and the Messengers and feel relaxed. Now let me go change my bandage... :)
The thumb... (ouch)
