• Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
• Lather: Gillette – Labs Skincare Rapid Foaming Gel   
• Post Shave: L’Oreal Men Expert Hydra Energetic

It has been years since I used canned goop, the last time I used the stuff the sensor excel was still the big thing and I don’t think they’d got above 2 blades in general (or I certainly hadn’t noticed). Squirted some of the gel onto the brush (actually worked quite well).  There seems to be some sort of cooling effect which actually wasn’t unpleasant.  Despite that it will be very unlikely that this will see the light of day again and will probably join the Cella in exile. 

This Haryali synthetic silvertip brush actually isn’t that bad, did an ok job with the gel, barring dollops that were flicked around. Would this thing ever replace my Chubby 2 SiLVERTiP…not a chance on this earth.  However it’s not a bad little brush to throw into the travel bag if I needed something that I didn’t care whether it got damaged or not.  Also went for the Haryali Travel Razor, the shave actually wasn’t that bad, the quality of the finish a lot to be desired though, the plating isn’t great and there was a lot of dust in the handle but it actually gave an ok shave, but rough on the ATG pass but I don't know whether that was partially the fault of the canned goop! 

Theme for the photo scavenger hunt, but I wanted to get space and travel together and stealing my 4 year olds lego was the only way! 

For today's challenge, this is tough for me.  I do not detect subtle notes or understand how scents interact, it’s just not the way I’m wired. So all I can do is a student dinner (see what’s in the cupboard that you like, throw it together and hope you can keep it down)...so to that end:

I absolutely love Noble Otter Plunder, the strong smoke coming off it is amazing, so I would take that with a good helping of Tom Ford Ombre Leather and a touch of A&E Tobacco Road, and maybe a dash of vanilla (not sure about that one and it's probably in the others somewhere). If you were to crack on for a soap as well, do the same but add to that just a touch of cooling agent (think Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic strength, not B&M Terror - I still have some horrid flashbacks to a very unfortunate incident) and that’d be me.  Smoky, leather, Tobacco, Vanilla and the soap with a hint of chill.  At least in my head that would work for me, whether it would in reality is a completely different matter.

Have a good one all.

Cheers
