Great shave and haircut and great energizing break. It's amazing how much better you feel when your armpits don't smell like vinegar Dome and face both turned out catfish belly smooth. There's a huge thunderstorm going on outside and it sounds like we're in the middle of an artillery barrage.

Good morning.

Truefitt & Hill have opened a Barbershop here in Singapore, so I took a friend of mine for a men's Sunday morning at the barber's (it was also my mate's first straight shave experience), we've enjoyed a shave as well as a haircut. The set-up was very much T&H, as expected of course and no complains there:

Nr. 10 pre shave skin protector
Sandalwood shaving cream
Regency shaving brush, medium-sized
No-name straight w. disposable blades (blades the size of Feather Pro's and similar, not one of the 'shavettes' with clipped DE blades)
Classic after shave balm

Nice shave with the full monthy of hot and cold towels, 2 passes etc. It was my second visit to the shop. The first time my barber was a Lebanese gentlemen and yesteday, it was their 'Master barber (as he is called), an Irish chap. Both have quite different personalities but are really nice guys. I shall definitely be back.

My (DIY) Shave on this gorgeous Monday:

Musgo Real pre shave oil
Martin de Candre shave soap, unscented
Mühle, 21mm, Silver Tip Fibre
Thiers Issard 'Crown Silverwing', 1/4 hollow, 11/16"
Block Osma alum
Musgo Real Classic after shave

Nice shave this morning, only one pass was needed even though I’d not shaved for the last two days. I woke to slightly sore hips from my 8k walk from yesterday, it was very refreshing walking around the country roads in the light rain. Looking forward to indoor bouldering again tomorrow night; I’m going twice a week now as well as doing a ‘heavy’ workout at work on Thursdays consisting of bench presses, pull downs and leg curls. I’m quite active lately, which is good. Hope you’ve all had a good start to the week…
