The Double Edge Adventures of Somnos...

Not to worry, @NurseDave, he uses it plenty; his wife just keeps topping it up with the glorious Veg!

From the level on that after shave bottle we need to discuss the glug approach to application.

I ussually go pretty easy on the application of AS or frags. However, I must admit when I got this bottle I was impressed that they had crammed that much in the bottle!

You kill me...

Oh it is a citrus dream that one! @Smattayu I can say you’d love it!

The mid-week shave though now I don’t know if that applies anymore. I don’t know about you but this all seems to have blurred together into one bologna “Ground Hog Day”....the movie that is except without the funny bits.

Had the Merkur Progress out a little while back and reached for the Mergress today. This one came from the B&B Saint Sue Moore Auction. Beautiful razor for a worthy cause. Loaded up with a Gillette Nacet.

Soap of the day RazoRock American Barber. This one was my first “barber shop” scent and I really like it quite a bit. Great scent and a great soap. The matching AS is quite nice also and the scent strength is on the stronger side of things. Love that.

Lovely three pass BBS shave achieved. New day indeed. Topped it off with Guerlain L’Homme Ideal. Take care and safe travels.

Really nice Shave! I have to agree that things are all kind of running together. It's like I am losing chunks of days altogether, but time is slowly going by all the same. These are weird times I will admit!

Keep yourself occupied and keep the spirits up!

 

[Somnos]

@dangerousdon absolutely agree! Stay safe you and the family.

Lol I barely remember what day it is anymore.

Yep...definitely a weird melding of long, strange days! Feels like they’re starting to pass by more quickly now though...and having a hard time answering how productive I’ve been lol.

We have to administratively account for our time by case, investigation etc. Man...lunch is getting fatter by the day......me too!

Happy Friday Amici! Though it might not feel the same, for the sake of some semblance of normality it’s the weekend! Today’s razor of choice is my 1960 Gillette Adjustable...yup, a Fatboy Friday! Loaded up with a Gillette Platinum and set to 4 for a very nice and easy shave.

Soap of the day is Italian Barber Amici which is the Italian word for friends. Great Spring and Summer scent for sure! Grapefruit, lemon and orange mixed with some spice. Though it is dull and dreary here I have Spring in my heart! Lovely scent and a great performing soap.

Lovely and leisurely three pass shave. Smooth as can be. Topped it off with some Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza. Torn between it and the original as both could easily be my signature scent.

Enjoy the day and enjoy your weekend. Stay safe.
