No photo as same razor as yesterdays but had taken it back to the finisher for a few more licks. I think we are there, ending a 6 months long series of frustrations with that blade. First go with the new formula green tub Proraso, ver nice. Even on this -13C morning the menthol soap and cold water shave was enjoyable, wide awake now. Hope your work week ends on a similar good note.

It's Friday and after this week, I feel like my vision's gone all blurry. But the weekend's supposed to be a beauty. Unfortunately, I'll probably spend most of it running errands with SWMBO as she prepares to head out to Japan for a month...
Today, though, I slowed the pace down and did a nice shave with the Kikuboshi Special, the 2-Band Chubby, and some AdP. Life really is too good to not enjoy!
He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.

Prep: Shower
Scuttle: Schwarzweisskeramik Basic
Brush: Simpsons Chubby 1 Best Badger
Cream: Castle Forbes Lime
Razor: Le Grelot Frameback
Astringent: Osma Alum
Aftershave: Speick
Eau de Toilette: Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet
Notes: Initially quite liked the shave. The razor was doing an excellent job with its WTG passes. A bit stickier when I attempted ATG.
Still a great result and I am thinking very hard about getting some Blenheim Bouquet. It's a pleasant enough smell - just not complex or masculine enough. All I get from it is nerioli - I smell like an orange.
