Pre-shave:- Argan Oil Soap
Bowl/Scuttle:- Earthenware pot
Brush:- Synthetic
Soap/Cream:- Own brew, grated Palmolive shave stick, KOS gel and Palmolive Shaving Cream
Razor/Blade:- Parker 96R and Sainsburys blade (1)
Post/After-shave: Cocoa Butter and night cream mix
Fragrance:- Lacoste

1st shave with Sainsburys blade and first use of Parker 96R razor.


I like the feel of this razor, the weight seems good and it is about right for me in terms of aggressiveness. The smoothness of the TTO mechanism causes concern, it is not as good as the Wilkinson TTO for example. I have sprayed Silicone spray lubricant down the handle and this appears to have improved matters considerably

I went food shopping this morning: at the opening I was alone, but after a few minutes we were already 5 or 6: all old men!

I think families send grandparents to supermarkets: if someone has to get infected... let it be grandpa!
Practice also advocated by Social Security!

The day was bright and, despite the 4 ° C, there was no cold at all.
Or maybe I didn't feel it: all others were pretty wrapped up!

I had already shaved and, although the day was not one of those that I judge suitable for Delfts Wit, I was in a withdrawal crisis and I enjoyed it anyway!

Results? Just obvious...

Sapone: Scheermonnik, Delfts Wit
Pennello: Lab. Villefranche, Salma Hayeck, Root briar/ST, 24
Rasoio: Gillette, Rocket Flare Tip

Some may call it simply terracotta, but to me it reminds me of a rare Japanese rose variety “Ash of Roses” I used to have in my garden. They smelled heavenly I remember …

You talk about the color of the wall, the one of the window...
Terracotta is more brownish...

I know, that's why I said to some .... I don't know how it looks in real life, but on picture the window frame and underneath is the color I'm referring to.

The whole setup radiates peace and warmth, very nice 👍

Pretty close, just a little brighter when new: they've painted long time ago...

Glad to hear it.
The road ends just in front of home: if one's doesn't stop, would go straight into a corn field! :)
Just a couple of neighbors and it is a very peaceful p!lace: I moved here 21 years ago and never regretted it.
