The Plisson European Grey badger brush shown has a pleasantly coarse, grainy feel on the face, and the lather this morning was particularly thick because I extended loading a big. Lo Haiku from Phoenix Artisan is a CK-6, so the lather was also slick and skin-nourishing — and fragrant:
• Top notes: lavender, bergamot, lemon, rosemary, anise
• Middle notes: geranium, fern, carnation, cinnamon, cedar, heliotrope
• Base notes: oakmoss, vanilla, tonka bean, amber, musk

iKon’s Shavecraft #102 is a marvelous slant, and three easy passes left my face smooth and ready for a splash of the aftershave augmented with a couple of squirts of Grooming Dept’s Aion Hydrating Gel.
The tea this morning is Murchie’s CBC Radio Blend: “Ceylon and China black teas, Jasmine and other green teas with a touch of citrus.”
