A splendid shave once more. I do like Tabula Rasa, even though I’m not especially a shaving-cream guy. The Dark Lavender is a wonderful fragrance, and the Monarch HMW worked up a fine lather: rich, abundant, and thick: it coiling up under the razor head as I shaved like rolling wet snow.
The (long-toothed) Gillette NEW head is riding on a UFO handle in red bronze. I used a new Personna Lab blade this morning, and the shave was delightfully easy. I got one tiny nick when I inadvertently just touched my face with the blades edge. Not much bleeding, and My Nik Is Sealed put it right, but the blade is most definitely sharp—and smooth.
Three passes to perfect smoothness, a hearty splash of Alt-Innsbruck, and the work week draws to a close.
