This is a very special day for me: today I am the same age my father was when he was this age.
And I would like to celebrate, but I never celebrate anything, so I don't know what to do.
A day that started in such a special way, now it's complicated: I'll get over it and face it manly!

A clear and positive note: a very fragrant shave and a very pleasant smoothness.

Razor: Rex Supply Co. Envoy
Blade: Personna Platinum
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3
Pre Shave: Wickham 1912 Shamrock Tweed Glycerine
Lather: Wickham 1912 Shamrock Tweed
Post Shave: Bull Dog Sensitive ASB
Fragrance: Armaf Tres Nuit



I always swore by an Envoy / Personna Platinum combo in the past but today, even though the blade was new the shave was a little tuggy.
I can't quite nail down what wasn't quite on point here. The end result was totally fine but I had to put in the work for it.
No nicks or irritation & the shave just crept over dfs into low level bbs on the 3rd pass but I had to call time out.
I wont re-use the blade and I will put it down to 'one of them days!'​

Happy Birthday to You

Happy Birthday to You

Happy Birthday Dear Sergio

Happy Birthday to You.

From your good friend in the Netherlands and true,

From old friends and new,

May good luck go with you,


And happiness shaves too.


Think of it what you want. But I'm probably the only one who sang for you today. At least here

So who's your only true Dutch friend ?????​
You are. Indeed!

But it is not my birthday: one per year is enough!

It was just a curious happening... :D

Awesome shave between two of Timeless’s most aggressive razors. Ultimately, the SS Slim is the smoother performer with equal shave prowess to the OC Bronze. Magnificent razors they are both but, the Slim is easier to use and slightly better on the face. A wonderful day and shaves to all....

A&E Post-Shave Serum

@RandySp this cashmere knot has more backbone than I thought, definitely not like a wet noodle as previously thought... It's just very soft and plush, wouldn't reach for it every shave but I quite enjoyed it.

Mikes is one of the oldest US artisans and his recipe has stood the test of time, it's still superb and provides one of the shiniest lathers in the business. Only negative is lack of residual slickness compared to the latest stuff but hardly a deal breaker considering the low price this soap sell for.

Feather blade in the Blackbird was probably the best yet, definitely an upgrade over the Gillette Platinum I was using.

A&E serum continues to impress, smells rank but my skin is looking better than ever.

Will grab a Mike's. What about lather density?

Indeed the brush seems to have backbone!
