Well a shave of two half’s
No shave for me yesterday, iv had a sore back over the last few days and it pretty much peaked yesterday,
No way could i stand for any length of time but today it’s slightly better.
I pretty much had this idea in my head that this was going to be the best shave ever.
How wrong was i.
I received this soap this week from wet the face & i had high expectations and to be honest i wasn’t disappointed,
Two almond size dollops in a bowl & within seconds i had a luxurious creamy lather.
Straight from the puck i would say the scent was a 4-5 but once whipped up it was a 6-7 and a wonderful scent.
Where i went wrong was using the Dart,
i can’t do it anymore infact i would go as far as to say i hate it.
I know it’s me i know i can’t get the angle right and i know know i can’t be bothered persevering.
The razor for me is poor infact i now understand why Blackland has discontinued it.
Another gripe i have is i don’t have a proper mirror in my bathroom as i was getting one especially made and covid hit me with a long waiting list so i need to get on with it in the mean time and head in to the bedroom which dosent help.
Never Mind No shave tomorrow to let the scars heal lol

Trumper’s Tuesday

View attachment 103517

Gillette, Aristocrat #22, London Bridge, ShedEleven Hand Carved Oak 2-band Synthetic, Trumper’s Violet SC, Benjamin’s Bay Rum, Boot’s Freshwood Balm

​
A lovely shave mowing down 3 days of growth in three passes with touch ups. The Trumper’s Violet has a wondrous intense scent that I adore and provides a good, slick lather very easily. These London Bridge blades are top drawer and my newest brush ain’t half bad either
😉
​
That handle looks great, and looks really comfortable / ergonomic too.
