• Brush: Chisel & Hound - 'Finned' V14 #COMPOSITE #SHD
• Razor: GEM - Junior  #BRASSING #TWINS
• Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE 
• Lather: Cella – Extra Extra Purissima   
• Post Shave: Thayers – Lemon Astringent

Well, that was deeply unpleasant, I cannot stand marzipan in any form and if the scent is present in any form I cannot smell anything else. To voluntarily slap this on my face took a bit of resolve, but seeing as it’s my first effort this year I couldn’t skip one in the first few days.  I will say I cannot argue with the performance it was perfectly acceptable, but it will not see the light of day again beyond a PIF box. 

However the shave was made better by both the GEM Junior (tomorrow being the ER 1912 to make up the twins, or I think so anyway) and one of my favourite C&H brushes. Picked this up directly over a year ago in another heart racing, fastest finger drop and it quickly became one of my favourites. I'm still a big fan of my first Casanova V11 but this one is right up there. I've sworn off (on more than one occasion) picking more up with knots installed…but tell that to my additional purchases that go right through to V18 and I've not regretted one of them, I swear it's an addiction! 

The daily challenge being to honour the former king and reigning champ /u/RedMosquitoMM, no offence, all in jest (being new to the games and only recently starting to become active I'm still getting to know the crowd). However re-reading some of his prior games post and posts in general I can see valued contributions along with some amusing comments. I particularly enjoyed the likes of non-spooky summer solstice and he also seems to really understand scents, I most definitely do not…think caveman - "Good" or "Bad", I can see why he was declared the winner, well played. 

Hope everyone has a good kick off to the week. 

Cheers
