Post: Gentleman’s Nod - Kensei - Splash
I haven’t posted a SOTD in quite some time on here. Life has been busy and having the time to post has been limited. But at 27 days in I decided NOW is the time to join the games and make a run for shaving gold. The cards are stacked against me but I think I can still win. I had planned to pop up just in time for Xmas in ~~July~~ June like a much less attractive Michael Bubble or Mariah Carey bout time got away from me. So here I am.
Onto the shave, GN Kensei was sitting in my shoe organizer and came in at 14 scent notes…check. The scent is a citrus and tea scent and unlike Air Bud 2 is a sequel worthy of Mushashi which I will need to revisit. The Ti Blackbird is my favorite razor and gave a great shave.
For the challenge I am left handed and needed to use my right. I asked my wife who is right handed to shave my face but with child in hand and an exasperated look on her face responded with a “No”. I also considered my 10 month old son as a volunteer but giving him a razor blade was shot down by wife as being unsafe…I suppose she’s probably right but he has to learn one day and the earlier the better. Out of candidates I elected to use my own right hand. I’m used to shaving with my non-dominant since using a straight so this wasn’t a terrible experience.
