Up late sort myself off and off to the match, and what an afternoon it was.
We can hardly believe it, SAFC off to Europe. Personally i dont think we are ready but we will see what they do over the closed season?
Mad scenes yesterday with very few leaving the stadium until over an hour after the final whistle, singing chanting and the team walking around the pitch with their families, extraordinary atmosphere.
Still catching up and i seem to have been hit with a good old dose of Hayfever or airplane "cabin fever".

25 May 2026
Overall Rating: ★★★★★ (Epic Shave!)
Smoothness: ★★★☆☆ (Pretty Good)
Irritation: ★☆☆☆☆ (Zero Burn)

Time of Day: Morning
Blade Uses: 3
Passes: 2
Razor Setting: 5

Razor: TATARA MURAMASA Adjustable
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless Steel Platinum
Soap: Wilkinson Sword Shaving Stick
Brush: Highlander TSR LE2023 Two Band Badger knot
Pre-Shave: Mr Myrsol Emulsion

Notes: I found setting 5 was a tad too much for my daily shaving routine, I did get a lovely shave but it came with a cost to comfort.
I would probably use this for a few days growth and perhaps a head shave.
I relented today and broke open my vintage Wilkinson sword shaving stick.
I struggled a little creating lather but that could be down to either being a brand new stick or I had too much pre shave lotion on beforehand.
I will know more as time goes on.
I did get some nice creamy lather from it once I got it going.
Enjoy the heat everyone, unfortunately I'm back at work tomorrow after having 5 days off.
