Not so nice thought ...

At risk of hijacking this thread, I admit to having entertained dark imaginings about the demise of P&C resulting from something having happened to the Monsta.

I'm glad that's not the case here, but a reminder that It's a fragile thread that holds the forum in place. :unsure:

We need to clone @Monsta_AU and make sure that we have a backup!

Following on from the last shave where I was trying to avoid a case of COVID, today’s shave is brought to you with a personal case of COVID. It seems I managed to pickup a case of COVID, and so I have a week being stuck at home for 3 days so far, and have a further 4 to go during my isolation period.

So with all this extra time on my hands, I have elected to shave before the weekend.

Have found I have totally bonded with the T95 over the past two SOTDs and that brush :love: wow!!! No synthetic I have used is anything like this one.

I give the Lansky HD knot a big thumbs up and cant wait to one day compare it to the G5C. The Lansky is a 24mm knot that has plenty of density and backbone. It lathers like an absolute monster and when I face lather it provides the softest feel every experienced so far. Super happy with @TroyTools workmanship and willingness to venture onto something he has never tried before, results are just stunning..

As close as anything. Pity I have to dremel the blade notch every time due to its fit.

Get rid of that stupid Nivea shit and start using my aftershave recipes, before your brother Holmes smacks the living crap out of you with his violin bow.
