Monday 24th August...

Decided to try this shavette from Captain Fawcett. Not sure whether I was more excited with the free beer mats the Captain sent me than with the shavette itself though He even has his own envelopes!

Anyway, the shavette is lovely and very well made but it does sit at the wild end of the 'Mild to Wild' spectrum I was once introduced to at the start of my shaving journey. This shave tonight definitely shows how far I have come with shavettes. Extremely pleased. I would have lost an ear lobe with this a few months ago.

N.B. Home Alone Factor 9/10

Excellent! The scales have a great old school appearance.

This Milkman, why is it so cheap?
Did they have summer discounts?

Father Day special sales, Father’s Day is on the 6th of September in Australia.

I showed this to my milkman and from that moment, stopped bringing me milk.

@Johnny Bravo can helped you with free Milk every morning, he’s chest muscles are getting way too big, it’s going to cost you a lot more money per hour plus delivery.

Greetings,

A relaxing early morning face & head shave.

The Omega 11137 Boar brush performed superbly this morning. I find that my Boar brushes work really well with shave sticks & my harder soaps.

An enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of splash of Brut Original EdT to the pulse points

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
