An extremely nice shave this morning with a great ensemble cast. Grooming Dept Luxury shaving soap uses the Kairos (tallow plus much else) formula, with a fragrance of “Oud + Leather!” — quite a pleasant fragrance.
Phoenix Artisan’s Green Ray is one of my favorite brushes: fine but springy bristles with just the right degree of resilience. The brush and soaped cooperated to deliver a first-rate lather, and RazoRock’s Baby Smooth did a wonderful job — great comfort, light blade feel, total efficiency.
A splash of Penhaligon Blenheim Bouquet with a couple of squirts of Hydrating Gel finished the job, and today is clear with a light breeze.
The tea this morning is Murchie’s Black Currant: “A blend of rich, smooth black teas enhanced with the zesty essence of black currants.”
