Lovely shave this morning after too little sleep. (Finishing a season of Unforgotten on BritBox — terrific series, and the music is wonderfully done.) My Maggard 22mm evoked that ultra-premium that some soaps deliver, Ariana & Evans among them. And the Maggard V2 open-comb on one of their handles makes a terrific razor — the head is a clone of the Parker 24C/26C head, but the stainless-steel handle is better than the Parker handles, all for about the same price.
Three passes left my face completely smooth, and a good splash of Hâttric (with a couple of squirts of Hydrating Gel) finished the job.
The tea today is Murchie’s Ode to Joy: “black tea, jasmine green, calendula flowers, elder flowers, and unspecified “natural and artificial flavouring”.”
