SOTD : Saturday 23th - Friday 1st March 2019

Lots of beard to get through so I reached for the Muhle R41. Nothing quite compares to a two pass shave with the beast. Close as can be. Used a slick cream in the Gentleman's Tonic and I love the scent. Paired with the Issey Miyake balm and the EDT...perfect Sunday and getting dinner ready. Happy Sunday all!

Please excuse my first effort at a SOTD photo. There are so many of you who post marvellous photos. I'm aiming to corner the ‘distressingly hopeless' end of the market. Enjoy the rest of your weekend gents.
