I let the Omega Mixed Midget soak while I showered, so it was ready when I returned to the sink. Prep for the shave stick was MR GLO, and then a good rub of the stick over my stubble and a good brisk brushing with the damp brush, and presto! lather — and a very good lather it was (because D.R. Harris).
I noticed this morning that the head design of the Fine Marvel is along the same lines as the head of the Henson Shaving razor, though Henson took it a bit further. The Marvel is quite good, but the blade had become dull enough that I had to do some touch-ups, so blade now replaced.
A good splash of Marlborough aftershave — I love its fragrance — with a squirt of Grooming Dept Hydrating Gel, and the weekend is launched. The shave was much better than the weather, so no walk today — but tomorrow is forecast to be clear, so I can walk then.
Somewhat weatherbound, I think I’ll cook a batch of Other Vegetables today: Chinese leek, bitter melon, chayote squash, Nantes carrot (they’re enormous), turmeric root, garlic — perhaps a couple of Roma tomatoes as well.
