The process-
So ... yesterday I posted a quick shave update and some of you were disappointed. I know. Hey ... I hear you. So today, here is the whole enchilada. Ok ... I may or may not have hit the snooze button this morning. Or I may have just wanted to try out this new to me Super Speed. I have had one of this model in the past and thought I would get another for a travel razor. Paired that up a Wizamet blade that
@bentheduck generously sent me. Kept the remainder of the kit the same and got down to business. Went a little wetter on the brush today and whipped up a lot of lather. Some may disagree, but I think the Sandalwood smells great.
I went with my standard three pass shave of WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. Had a remarkable shave and I am BBS for the win! Man, that really is a great blade! Curious to know about the longevity. I haven't ventured away from the Astra SP much, but I could buy some of these blades. The shave was easy peasy and I am silky smooth. Gotta love it! Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a drip dry. A splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Oh yeah, there it is. I could do that again tomorrow. Anyway, what can I say about the Proraso line that I haven't said in the past? I am a fan and as a bonus, it is missus approved too. Look out world, here I come!
Home Front-
Been a quiet week on the home front, just trying to stay off my feet as much as I can. Work is crazy busy and it will be a full week of that ... what?! IKR? My toes are healing up some and I have a new fountain pen on the way. I may have mentioned that Ben also sent Deb a sample of Stirling Plumeria, which she loves. Uh Ben ... it's been discontinued. Checked with Rod and he may bring it back in 2021 though. But really, thank you for introducing her to that scent and to Stirling. She hadn't wanted to try any of my Stirling yet. I did search high and low and found a tub for Deb's birthday. It has been ordered, I just have to hide it for a few weeks. That's all I got for you today. Life is good!
