New neighbours moving in next door so we were doing the neighbourly thing...socially distanced of course. Explaining things about the neighbourhood etc. Nice folks. Family is good Bruce.

Lovely Saturday shave. Wanted to reach for an OC today to tackle the fuzz that has accumulated and so the iKon it was. I really enjoy the “Deluxe”. Loaded up with a fresh Polsilver.

First Line Shave Blue Label was the soap of choice with the matching AS. Fresh and aquatic the theme.

Lovely two pass DFS on a Saturday afternoon after the final cut of the lawn, flower beds cleaned and patio furniture tarped up and away. Enjoy your weekend Cadre!

Monday morning shave and enjoying an extra long weekend. Something mild was in the plans and the Feather AS-D2 continues to tick all the right boxes. The magic combo for me includes a Polsilver IR though the Voskhod and Personna Super or Lab Blue have been equally good.

Gentleman’s Tonic Babassu & Bergamot is a soft cream that originates from London. It is rich, slick and the scent is exceptional. Mrs. Somnos scooped me a tub from Winners on scent alone and it has turned out to be quiet good. Just a little in a lather bowl is all that is needed.

Lovely two pass DFS/BBS shave achieved. The balm today was Issey Miyake L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme followed by the matching EDT. Not bad for a Monday.

You are debonair in you’re own right! Have to clear my schedule for the zoom call. Hope it was a good one.
