    That's the way I see it too. Being tempted is one thing, giving in to the temptation (correct? / falling for it?) another. Others can do as they prefer. But for myself it seems to be wrong.

    Pre : L'Oreal face wash
    Soap : TOBS Sandalwood
    Brush : Semogue 620
    Razor : Gillette Superspeed flare tip
    Blade : Personna
    Post : Homemade lime scented balm

    Finish : BBS

    Comments :
    I'm glad I got a TOBS grapefruit before this tub of sandalwood, I'd have been disheartened with its soapy scent. Don't get me wrong, the sandalwood's a great cream, but I feel I got the grapefruit scented one just in time. One can get a bit blasé after a while with the same style of things. The Semogue 620... where's the scratchiness and stench? Straight out of the packaging, one shampooing later, and it was ready to go. I don't recall a single hair being shed either. Yes it's a bit firm, but that'll ease up over time. Has anyone told the guys at Semogue that boar brushes aren't meant to be soft? I'm not complaining though, just keen to get the brush broken in.
