And this evenings theme was 'political debates' and the fact I have had more scents arguing with each other than I care to think of.
Prime Minister - ATT M2
Deputy Prime Minister - ATT Colossus
Chancellor of the Exchequer - Kai
Secretary of State for Foreign affairs - Muhle synthetic (Note the similarity in appearance)
Secretary of State for Health and Social - OSP Spice Road
Secretary of State for Education - ADP Colonia Club aftershave balm
Shadow leader of the opposition - Floris Santal
After a few nights getting to acquaint myself with the Timeless; tonight I chose to go Above the Tie and their M2 OC held firmly on the action end of a Colossus handle. On the other end of the Colossus an axe wielding maniac. Me. Fortunately my axe skills were dutifully brought down a few scales so as to not go at my face like a lumberjack felling a great redwood.
Yet another great piece of stainless engineering from our friends across the big pond. Everything precisely manufactured to create a little more than 'just another SS razor'. In comparison to the Timeless I do find this combination needs more care and attention in a kind of gentile axe wielding maniac approach. But the end results are again astounding and very sure footed. The Kai blade being at the pointy end of the action behaved perfectly and the more I use these blades the more I realise 'I need more'. A slightly better choice than a Spear and Jackson axe.
Again one of the silly 'get 25% off' OSP creams and a first outing for me and their Spice Road. Another intriguing scent which had me perplexed. Did I really sense liquorice in there? Anyway, another fine cream with wonderful properties which help the shave along.......Do I have to wait until next Easter to get my hands on more of their creams?
Instead of Cade this evening I went for ADP Colonia Club balm being it was a freebie with a purchase at Christmas (These shaves are actually more festive than I care think). Very nice and Colonia Club on top of liquorice is starting to add to quite a mystifying end. I must say as an after shave balm the scent is outstanding and the longevity actually gets way beyond the bottom of the stairs, out the front door and the local corner shop and back. And still with some change in pocket.
Throw in some Floris Santal when one returns home and the house is starting to smell like a perfume counter. Great!
More importantly I made the journey feeling wonderfully free of bristly bits on my face and my wife not wanting to go near me with a whole host of scents wafting around my person.
