I’m committing a second book
Remember that book I committed a while ago? I’m in the process of putting a sequel together. Expect it sometime early in 2022.
The biggest trouble will be to come up with a title…
Advent 2021 – eight surprise

Razor: Schick E2
Blade: Schick Injector
Brush: Semogue TSN LE 2012
Lather: Taylor of Old Bond Street’s Peppermint Shaving Cream
Aftershave: Barber No3 Marmara
Additional Care: Alum Block
The Peppermint Shaving Cream – which I got as yesterday’s surprise in the Solidarity Advent Calendar from Gifts & Care – was a pleasant surprise.

Pre-Shave: Proraso Pre Shave Cream
Lather: Mühle Aloe Vera Shaving Cream
Aftershave: Mühle Aloe Vera After Shave Balm
Additional Care: Alum Block
Shaving with things I gotten in the Solidarity Advent Calendar. The Proraso preshave cream reminds me of the Prep cream, which isn’t bad. The Mühle aftershave balm felt pretty nice too. Not impressed by the Mühle shaving cream though; no slip, no cushion, and hard to rinse of my vintage Schick.
