Its been a long time since i bowl lathered, saying that the Proraso soap is easy to get right. The brass brush is the heavyweight amongst the collection and a do really enjoy using it.
As per yesterday, the Kai blade in the Brassbird (in my opinion the best razor that Blackland has made, it was as efficient as its Stainless brother but also a lot smoother and not harsh at all) ups the efficiency and tiny bit of more blade feel but still very smooth and comfortable.
2 fantastic passes with buffing the stubborn bits as i went, i am super clean, and fresh smelling good, the Proraso Wood spice is one of the best scents out there.
Well, we have been together 42 yrs, however, we will not be venturing out tonight as the pup has been all consuming of our time. I am sure i will knock up something Mrs TC likes for our Dinner tonight. It will be basic though.
Enjoy your day all.
