July 2, 2023 – From Italia With Love… And No Cows.

• Brush: Extro Comesi Synthetic 26mm Italian Flag
• Razor: Schick Injector Type I1
• Blade: Personna Injector (1)
• Lather: Panta Rei – Ibla
• Post Shave: Panta Rei – Ibla

A quick rushed shave for today as I’m cleaning the house and getting ready for three 12 hr shifts in a row and then off to LA the morning after. I also put my foot in my mouth early this morning and am in the doghouse, so am trying to make up for it around the house. Here’s to thoughts of better times and our first big vacation together, Italy. The brush comes from a fragrance shop right outside the Vatican and the Panta Rei Ibla set from a vape shop in Venice. Panta Rei’s products are made by Tcheung Fung Sing and use a coconut base, so a big fluffy lather with a generous bright oriental scent. I first shaved with this set after picking it up while wandering around the city in the morning while my girlfriend slept in. We went out for our last meal in Venice that night, capping off a whirlwind trip that we embarked upon after only being together for 6 months. This splash puts me right back in our chairs outside of a queit trattoria with a gentle rain in the background. Here’s to memory, scent, and all those in the future.

Podcast of the Day: WTF with Marc Maron- Kyle Kinane. I dont keep up with this pod as much as I used to but I love the familiarity between this two and the fact that Kyle can push back a little with Marc. Fun light listen.

Cheers! Shaka emoji.
