Today’s shave was straightforward, but a pleasure nonetheless. Luxury is a Grooming Dept Kairos (tallow) soap, and its fragrance is Oud+Leather. I got a good lather with the horsehair brush, but I’m losing my fondness for those brushes and may take them out of rotation.
Maggard Razors V3A razor does an excellent job generally, but this morning required a little extra work, so time for a blade change. Rejuvenating Serum is an extremely nice balm.
The tea this morning is Mark T. Wendell (“‘T’ is my middle name.”) Organic Bold Leaf Pu-erh: “This offering is an organically grown, full leaf black tea version of Pu-erh tea. The dry leaf of this selection is dark and rich in appearance. Upon brewing, you will notice the unique damp, earthy scent characteristic of a fine black Pu-erh. Our Organic Bold Leaf Pu-erh tea has a smooth, deeply fermented flavor that puts this selection in a class all its own.”
