  • Brush: Stirling Synthetic 24mm
  • Razor: Paragon - Shaving ‘Don’ DE razor
  • Lather: Taylor of Old Bond Street - Royal Forest.
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - Navigator

Good old TOBS to get my mood elevated again. I have been abusing my face all week and today is like taking a breath of fresh air. Such a great scent! It’s blackcurrant, patchouli, and some vanilla, maybe pepper and more. It’s a dupe of Creed Aventus and now I know why it’s popular. My navigator splash was a somewhat close match but didn’t stand the trials of time. After a couple hours the scent disappeared.

TODAY’s CHALLENGE: Was interesting to say the least. Used 1/3 of the water I usually use and the lather was crazy pasty. Although very slick it felt more like it was pulling moisture out of my skin than the usual hydration feel. Maybe that’s what putting salt in your face feels like!! Ya’ll have a good one.
