Today I failed to get my usual olfactory hit from Meißner Tremonia’s Exotic Elemi, but that is probably just a transitory disability on my part. The lather itself was quite nice — I took my time and loaded my Simpson Emperor 3 Super well, and I enjoyed the lathering for a while.
Then I picked up the razor and started to shave and was bowled over by how pleasant it was. The razor is an Above the Tie S1, and the blade a previously used Treet Platinum. (I checked the blade after the shave because I was curious about why the shave seems so stunningly spectacular today.
Three easy passes to perfection, then a splash of Pashana with a squirt of Grooming Dept Hydrating Gel mixed in. Wonderful way to start the day.
The tea this morning is Murchie’s Baker Street Blend, a favorite:
Baker Street Blend features Lapsang Souchong, smooth Keemun, rich Ceylon, Gunpowder, and floral Jasmine.
