The return of that old devil himself. And my accompanying theme for this shaving report is,' Absence makes
the heart grow fonder you all happier'
A Tuesday's shave
An absent razor - 3ONE6
Absinth and missing ears - Super Iridium
A curse absent brush - Highlander TSR LE
Absenteeism and Soaps- Floris Elite
A bent abs moisturiser - Collegen
Sebant and misspelling - Floris Elite
'Mummy, mummy! I've drawn a picture of daddy! What do you think?'
'I think he's a twat'
A very elite shave in both delivery and scent. Very Floris in fact. If I was stranded on a desert island (which many wish I was) the 3ONE6 would be damn good choice of razor to share my time with.
Between that and a copy of 'June 1986's Razzle readers wives special'. I mention that particular issue as it was 'The Shaven edition' with a wonderful article on Gillette razors, 'The best a man could dream of'.
A cracking shave and superbly finished with a big grin. It's that Razzle again.
And God knows who these are, but I'll have some of it if only to be obscure.........
A Wednesday's shave
Obscurity and absence - Lambda Athena
A not absent blade - Wizzamet Super Iridium
Obscrub brush - AP Shaving Cashmere
Absoaplutely - Proraso
Shaven bits moisturiser - Simple
The scent of a shave - ADP Colonia Club
'N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, TW, TWA....'
A day out for the rarely used and faff of a razor, the Lambda Athena. Is it worth the faff? All the way. The best a man can get, and the readers wives of the June 1986 copy of Razzle as well. Except it never existed then so any old Bic disposable would have done. Probably one stolen from the reader wives husbands. The ones with the Zenith E and a dark room.
A stockingly brilliant shave and other than the wonderful performance of the Proraso I do love the neutral scent it carries. If there is any scent it is hardly prominent. What it allows me to do though is throw any scent on afterwards without a clash of aromas vying for the same space. Unlike Mrs Satanfriendly and myself where vying would be a kind expression.
And more obscure Japanese ladies to end on......
