Saturday 2nd May (My Birthday :) )...

Have been looking forward to today's shave for quite a while. Last shave was the first outing of Martin de Candre and today sees the first use of vintage soap and aftershave in Old Spice and Imperial Leather.

The scent on the soap gives off quite a cinnamon or mixed spice aroma and it lathers up like I'd expect a soap of yesteryear to - lovely and thick. Mmm.

The Imperial Leather splash has a beautiful scent to it. Really classy and deep. While both these items are equally amazing, it's the splash which has really captivated me today.

A gigantic, blue whale-sized thank you must go out to @pjgh for these lovely birthday treats. Paul, you are a scholar and a gentleman.

Enjoy your day all...
