Too much of this

Not enough of this


Far too much of this


'Oh my God! Put it away!'

And by far not enough of this



But you can never have enough of these

4th use of the Titan protouch MG and it still performs pretty much as new. For the past two days I mobilised my SS ATT 2016, vintage silver travel brush and Saponificio Varesino Felce Aromatica. This soap is one of the best I’ve used, creamy, lathers easily and absolutely no irritation on the skin, not even a mild one. Single main pass wtg, re apply soap and then pick up on missed areas around the chin plus a small amount of atg on the cheeks. Superb result, shaving nirvana? Mustn’t get carried away now but close and happy boy I am.
Have a great day fellas!

Brush: MOAR Boar
Soap: Hoffman's Affogato
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Wizamet
Post: Hoffman's Affogato AS

Decent shave this morning, took a bit of work but got a decent lather. This scent really reminds me of something, took me to this morning to realise what it was. Kopiko Coffee sweets, almost identical to it if memory serves. Used to have a workmate who went home to Malaysia (though can get them here now) and used to bring them back. I would pop those things like...well sweets.

Ready for my real coffee now, hope everyone has a grand one.

Cheers

Wed 25th October
Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
Stirling Syn 26mm
La Toja stick- grated
PAL Injectomatic
Schick S/S - Japan ( 1 )

A poor Shave with The Injectomatic last time out , was due to me carrying on with the Shave when it was obvious the blade was past its best. Treated myself today as I loaded it with a Japanese Schick, which coped with 4days growth quite easily.
