Man you smash the lotions. Every time a see another shot of your SOTDs it looks like another litre has been consumed. This is a good thing, well for the suppliers that it.

Also more importantly. At this time of night your den looks like a basement with an extremely long corridor behind you. Your body also appears to be missing like a vampire. Anything you need to share with us? :vamp:

Yes, that's because lotions are to be abused, it's what they are designed for, and I love their effect on skin and the scents (well, floid is not exactly a gorgeous scent xD). They are my major rabbit hole... and that remains me that I have to check if frenchurch is still available at beard and blade, as it is being decimated at a much faster rate than the soap :confused:

I cannot publicly say much about the second paragraph, but I can advise regarding some old tales mentioning an invisible Spaniard dude that sometimes enter along midnight on wet shavers houses and empty their dens. Think about that before doing any private transaction and expose your address. Tales are normally false, but my advise is that they are sometimes real.... :spiderman:
 


Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: M&F Brad Sears L7 Tigris Finest Badger
Soap: Eufros TSR LE 2018
Razor: Pils
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (1)
Post: CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Chanel Pour Monsieur

First shave with the Tigris. She certainly lives up to her name - she tore into the Eufros soap savagely, hence a relatively short load time. Thankfully, she also retracted her claws when face-lathering, with soft tips that painted lather nicely. Very firm backbone and densely packed - a very impressive first outing.

Three passes for an extremely comfortable DFS.

There’s something great about a shave that effortlessly takes off 3 days growth! A few weeks ago I was toying with selling my slant razor. I don’t think that will happen now...

Razor: Vintage NEW head (replated) on TSW Bren handle
Blade: Personna 'Lab Blue' (1)

Came out of the bathroom and my wife said, "what are you wearing, that is strong!".

Not sure that this is a good or a bad thing - but the Herbal is a powerful and polarising scent, used sparingly. Thanks again to the generous benefactor here for it some time ago!
