Sotd - Friday 15/3 -
Razor - Gem MM Open comb brass
blade - ER Corrux (2)
brush - Maseto 24mm 2 band
soap - Indian Old Spice
post - witch hazel
a/s - Old Spice original
balm - Russian Vitamin F.
Result - I really enjoyed that. No work on today - so I could indulge in a relaxed afternoon shave, with a serious mimsy thrown in for good measure. The MM is a fantastic razor for me - I love everything about it. The shave it gives me is stellar. First use of the Old Spice cream - does the job just fine. I don't know what it smells of but it isn't Old Spice - that's for sure. It maybe left my face initially a wee bit dry but given the miracle like qualities of the Vitamin F balm that was of no concern. The best thing about the cream is this - quoting from the text on the tube - I'm not making this up -
'For the gentleman with exceptional taste in scents, rugs (!) and TV shows.'
'Dear man - your hands were not made to carry shopping bags or stroke furry kittens (!!) however cute they may be. No, your hands were made so you can sculpt statues of yourself. Or squeeze out a a handsome amount of this smooth, man-friendly tube of Old Spice Shaving Cream. Buy it and all else will be forgotten.'
Wow - I'd better get rid of the kittens and order a large lump of marble - I'm obviously letting the side down.
Enjoy your shaves one and all - cheers - I.
