Tuesday 28th April...

Had another shave planned for today but woke up tired and decided to postpone it until later in the week as I wanted to savour it.

The Rockwell 2C on plate 3 was paired with a Gillette Silver Blue #1. This is, as I have just found out, is a superb pairing for me. Cyril Salter and a Semogue 2000 made up the rest of the line up in what turned out to be an extremely close finish. Fabulous shave.

Enjoy your day...
