A/S - Proraso Wood and Spice
A very nice shave today although the blade dropped off towards the end. I could have got away with 2 passes and a bit buffing, however, i had enough lather for a full pass and the Genesis is as safe a razor anyone could use, so i completed a full XTG pass. A perfect finish. I think i will get 1 more use out of this tube of Wood & Spice.
Taff has had his 1st short walk this morning at 5am, maybe a bit of a sensory overload for him but it was only around 15 - 20 minutes long and we didn't go far, we are just home after a repeat walk although the street was a lot busier, he seems a friendly dog and is happy to meet people.
The sun is cracking the pavements here again,
stay hydrated and enjoy your day all.
