A vintage inspired leather scent experience is something I enjoy immensely. Today I had that in abundance.

Happy Thursday! Warm and sunny and soon the weekend will be upon us!

My vintage Gillette have been getting all the attention lately but no more! Time for the Merkur to shine. Today’s shave features a classic in my book in the 34C. I have two of them and a 34G! Some say too mild but I don’t quite understand that. Is it a Muhle R41? No, I have one of those too. It is however a very easy razor to use and has always provided me with a close and comfortable shave. Today was no different!

Enjoy the sun and stay safe!
