The lime fragrance of Meißner Tremonia’s Dark Limes is not so much the fragrance of the fresh fruit but a more subdued — darker — version, one that is pleasing in a shaving soap. My Vie-Long brush did an excellent job with the lather, and for me the Baby Smooth is a terrific razor that always easily delivers a great shave, and today was no exception. A splash of Geo. F.Trumper West Indian Extract of Limes aftershave, augmented with a squirt of Grooming Dept Hydrating Gel, and the day begins.
My tea this morning is Murchie’s Assam Tippy Golden: “A dark, rich tea with full-bodied, malty flavour, with a hint of sweetness and a silk smooth finish. Assam teas are especially good where water conditions overpower more delicate teas, and are often enjoyed with milk.” It does indeed have a full-bodied taste and is very smooth.
