• Lather: Barrister and Mann - Fougere Angelique
• Post Shave: Thayers - Rose Toner AS

Cracking shave this morning, I do love a GEM razor and this ER is no exception. Don't get me wrong, I like DEs but the more rigid blade just seems to give me a better finish, never mind the fact that the blades last an age anyway.

Fougere Angelique, a lovely soap, sadly couldn't get hold of the splash but the thayers does the trick well enough. I think the next time I'm in the states I'm going to have to go crazy and order a ton to whatever hotel I end up staying in!

Challenge Mad Braggard Day

This one was actually a closer call than I thought. I've not gone majorly nuts with singular orders from Maggards. Now that's not for lack of desire, but being in the UK and stupid import added to it then I have to be a bit more canny. There's a limit of roughly £130, which if you stay below this they normally ignore it. To be fair though, smaller orders with maggards work well considering their incredibly reasonable postage rates, so little and often is where it's at! Though if I were able to get alcohol shipped then this would go out the window and import be damned! The vast majority of my larger orders tend to go to Slickboys, but even then it tops out at around £200...I'm ignoring hardware as that would be obscene! I did not like that challenge, it half forced me to reflect - perhaps I'll change my ways...unlikely.

Photocontest

With this being Angelique I thought I'd aim this one at 'Eyes', seemingly a biblical depiction of an angel, bloomin terrifying if this thing popped up in front of you!

Got me curious around tomorrows challenge, hopefully not quick fire as I do my best not to think too much on a Sunday, do enough of that during the week at work!

Have a good'un all.

Cheers
