Another day, another flight!
I thought that the day trip to Perth a couple of weeks ago was the last for the year - but not to be. Sydney calls and sometimes you just HAVE to be in the room...
Shave wise I'm getting a little boring, good stuff again. Hard to put a foot wrong with some of the great kit around now.

As you can see an APR week. I know that these are not 'summer scents', but I say if you like it, then why not.

Enjoying a nice relaxing shave after a stressful day at work. Halfway through the shave the bloody door bell rang! I was greeted with a late 60th birthday present, 6 bottles of Jacobs Creek Double Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon.

Prep: Shower
Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts - Aurora - 24mm Cashmere
Razor: Anodized Aluminum Wolfman WR-1DC on WRH-2 (Black & Purple)
Blade: Polsilver SI
Lather: Australian Private Reserve - Bombora - Soap
Post Shave: Australian Private Reserve - Lightning Ridge - Aftershave
Fragrance: Australian Private Reserve - Lightning Ridge - Eau de Parfum
Picked up my first tub of Bombora from Maggards. Off the dry tub, I didn't get a "great" first impression. I was expecting more of the citrus with the aquatic notes backing it up. It smelled like an aquatic, but not the typical aquatic that you would normally think of. Can't really place my finger on what exactly it is, but I didn't blow me away or turn me off. Once lathered though, the scent exploded with tons of citrus with some of those aquatic notes to back it up. I look forward to my EdT and splash arriving so that I can truly get a good whiff of this mixture.
