As soon as I woke up I didn't realize it was such a fantastic day: an intermittent drizzle and a diffuse mist.
I had stayed in bed watching a documentary about a colleague, David Bailey, and I hadn't noticed the beauty of the 'outside'!

I felt inspired and I wanted to use a Scheermonnick pentalogy soap, which has just arrived to me: the Delftse Donderlag.
Unscrewed the lid, the intoxicating perfume rose from the tobacco-colored mass perfectly suited to a perfectly perfect day!
The mechanics are those of her other siblings and the scent is very good.

The name that its creator has given it leaves me very perplexed: I cannot, in any way, connect a perfumed and cuddling latherer with the disaster of almost four centuries ago: I cannot detect in any way gunpowder, ruins and death!
And they say I am the weird one...

An excellent and olfactory exceptional shave.
The perfection of today's pogonotomic rite ... it was written: on the stero, the first CD was one of Chet Baker.
If this is not a perfection conjuncture...

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney Polo 2 Ivory Finest (28/60)
Boellis Panama Daytona 10 shaving cream
Gillette New Long Comb/Bob's Razor Works Amboyna Burl
Personna P74 Tungsten (5)
Barrister & Mann Cologne Russe aftershave

The Boellis has a woodsy, musky, citrus fragrance, and it made excellent lather, but my skin was left slightly red and burning, so perhaps there is an intolerable ingredient. I'll give it at least one more try to see. A very close, smooth shave for the first session of a Tai Chi class my wife and I are taking.

I strongly believe it is the almond.

Dug this...gave this brush the same refrigerator treatment I gave the Envy boar, made it some softer and less of a lather hog, don't ask me how. I still don't like this one as much as the Envy and certainly not as much as my badgers, but I'll keep the knot in there; you can only have so many really good badgers anyway. I'm sure I'll dig it more in the summer when it's hot.

Felt like an easy game today, R41 left me a little rawish so I went for the SLOC.

I'm completely over wearing Aventus and prefer Silver Mountain almost every time, but for shaving the Aventus clones work for me, especially if it's pretty subdued and fades quickly. I dig on Sellout as it seems to be a darker muskier type of clone, not too bright at all.

This is a very mild OC razor. I have an acceptable pass from 3 passes with the great smelling GFT but I think this razor will benefit from a sharper blade. Awesome looking razor.
