Result - well, paint me purple and call me Susan - what a shave.
A further slide down the slippery slope of my growing lavender dependency. I think I have a problem. There will come a day that I'm lying to you all here to cover up my addiction - 'great sandalwood shave today gents,' as I tidy away the Salter tallow, glancing over my shoulder furtively. I was looking forward to trying the Portuguese Ach Brito Lavanda cream - it didn't disappoint - performance and scent - for me - were way above a soap costing less than £5 a tube. I'd go as far as to say that it has the lavender scent that I have most liked - so far. Very spicy and medicinal. The matching Lavanda splash shall be mine - oh yes! The parent company also owns other 'old school' brands - Confianca and Claus Porto, among others. A Lusitanian La Toja or Alvarez y Gomez if you will - they've been doing it for generations too. Given all the lavender products used tonight I'm so relaxed that I am having trouble keeping my head from dropping onto the keyboard - it does have a therapeutic effect for me. Still very much enjoying the - new to me Chubby One - a gem for face lathering. Precise - a nice dense knot - but it's a Chubb - what else would it be? It will be interesting to find out just how much the knot spreads out over time. Zzzzzzzzzzzz - enjoy your shaves gentlemen - yours - I.
I have a shed load of Dalan Olive oil soap with lavender which is very good indeed
