It’s always good to start the week with a fine shaving experience, which was provided this morning by the CK-6 formulation of Planet Java Hive, whose coffee + honey fragrance greatly appeals to me, and with a rich, thick lather made with the Green Ray synthetic.
This iKon stainless-steel slant, now sold with a B1 coating, was my first great slant. It easily wiped away my two-day stubble in three easy passes, 2/3 of a day per pass, presumably.
A splash of Planet Java Hive aftershave with a couple of squirts of Grooming Dept Hydrating Gel finished the job, leaving a face that is super smooth, supple, and fragrant.
The tea this morning is Murchie’s Queen Victoria: “rich Darjeeling and Ceylon, smoky Lapsang Souchong and sweet Jasmine.”
