Happy Cinco de Mayo! I notice that the celebration in Victoria BC is muted compared to the Cinco de Mayo celebration in Monterey, but I will have some guacamole later.
The shave was extremely good. That “cashmere” brush from Yaqi has a very soft feel on the face. It was easy to load, and now that I know that The Dead Sea requires a brush barely damp, I have no problems at all in loading. I greatly enjoy this lather, for fragrance and performance.
The Lupo has a fair amount of blade feel, but is quite comfortable and not inclined to nick. It left an extremely smooth face, and I enjoyed this last splash of Paul Sebastian. I do like that aftershave, but I feel foolish replacing the bottle given that I have a cabinet well-stocked with a good variety of aftershaves. I’ll remember it with fondness. The fact that I ran out shows how much I like it.
