And for this most foul weather of days my theme was 'icons and Ikons'
Marilyn Monroe - Ikon SB on its own Ikon handle from the BST. Thanks
@Paul L
Humphrey Bogart - Polsilver Lodz
Audrey Hepburn - Murdock Avalon shaving cream
Che Guevara - Razorock 400 Plissoft
Coco Chanel - Arran Aromatics Seasalt and Rockrose EDT
Today was all about having a complete Ikon razor as against to an Ikon head on some other handle. I do rather like my Ikon and it is deserving of showing itself off. As it is the handle is very nicely manufactured and certainly a shiny blingy item and I do like shiny and blingy. I would happily wear this around my neck together with my VW pendant while I trip out on E's listening to The Chemical Brothers. Which is nice
This was a 6th time out for this particular blade and to be honest the shave reflected this. As it is I managed a full 3 pass shave without drawing blood, but it was resigned to the blade bin by the end of it all. Thank you and goodbye.
Being back home it is always nice to have choice instead of the restricted items while away at work. So for this day my chosen cream is an icon in its own way in this world of shaving. If it isn't then it should be. I use this cream rather sparingly as I dread to think there will be a day where I have to scrape it all from the bottom of the jar in the knowledge that it will be an unobtainium product by then......and I shall cry. The Avalon is a wonderful cream which delivers and performs. Includes marshmallow whatever that means. Soft sticky sweets aside it is pure luxury in a glass jar. A bit like a pint.
As I mentioned elsewhere I am so impressed with the Razorock 400 another one arrived on the doorstep this morning. Postmen are great aren't they? They are also partially responsible for my declining bank balance.
The Arran Aromatics topped off what was in despite of a less than perfect blade, one very happy and smile inducing shave. Things don't have to be perfect as long as they make you happy. Ask my wife. Apparently I am questionable on the happiness front as well
Oh hum.
All this was achievable in the new vanity unit which has been replaced while I was away. The previous being smashed by my bad self using a glass bottle and stupidity. My wife actually gave me the full run of the unit for storing all my shaving and cleaning accoutrements. Aren't wife's great? mine is.
Have equally as happy shaves chaps
