Monday's differences

I used one of the 3 Proraso boars, this is the 'middle one' and unlike the issues that my mates have with, or as the middle of 3, this one gives me no problems at all!

P&B Right Handed Giant, great takes on Brut. Then a bit of Brut splashed all over.

Good start to the week

A break from my SE razors as there can be "only one" razor i could use today on my 60th, my birth-year Slim.
Fitted with a vintage blade and one of my favourite soaps lathered with a brush that is older than me.
A 3 pass shave finished with a really nice post shave routine ending with a splash of one of my favourite aftershaves setting me up for a birthday lunch with my close family and friends.
Happy Birthday also to Shubs @donnie_arko.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Hello Tony,

Like yourself I'm reaching a landmark age, for my 40th birthday today. Happy birthday to you and I hope you have a very nice 60th birthday today and enjoy your lunch with your family.

Btw, the scent profile for Coria is one of my favourite ones for any shaving soap. The rose and geranium (lavender too) combine together beautifully for a very invigorating scent when the lather's on the face, it's quite delightful.

Happy Belated Birthday
Hope you had a cracker, all the best

A very pleasant shave this morning (I know) with the SE1. I think that I’m getting to grips with the consequences of any pressure with this razor. Brilliant lather from the Eboracum, and I just love that peppermint!

Ps belated happy birthday @donnie_arko sorry completely missed that one mate

Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
L'Occitane Cade Shaving Bowl & DSC Professional w/Synbad Synthetic 26mm
Wilkinson Sword Hydro Advanced & Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Skin Protection Advanced Cartridge
Pitralon Classic Aftershave

My setup for the week ...

Putting a few things away in the loft over the weekend, I had a rootle about in the "probably no longer required" soaps box and happened upon a barely used L'Occitane Cade UFO bowl! Why I've not used this much before, I don't know ... I love tarry woody oils like cade. As a soap, it's lovely! I think it goes back to when I was a bit of an ingredients purist and put this somewhat commercial offering aside. I'm certainly going to enjoy a week of this soap.

Continuing to enjoy the Pitralon Classic aftershave, too, which is right up my street! So much so, I think I'll get one in for stock ... something I only do for absolutely favourites, like Puig Quorum (aftershave and EDT), Jovan Musk and two bottles of GFT Eucris still in reserve. I like it a lot!

Straight-up 10/10 shave, that ... despite the effluent gloop strip, which I know will take more then the life of the cartridge to fully die off. I plan a week with the gloop strip in place and the simply remove it for next week and beyond.
