April Showers Bring May Flowers

Decent excuse to bring out Juniper Reverie, a really nice, if subtle and fresh-ish scent for spring. The longevity isn't great on my skin but on clothes it hangs around for a decent time. I've only got a couple of Gentlemans Nod sets (this and Ernest), feels like it shares some similarities but I like both so there's no complaints from me.

AP Shave Co. Lemon drop with TGN Boar knot performs brilliant. It's a tall fella (couldn't find my calipers to measure again so it's an old one), but brilliant at whipping up a lather and has fair amount of backbone.

Holly crap though this 'Rainbow' razor is god awful. I could have put something better together with a plank of wood and some cable ties. The blade clamping is non-existent, I had a very dicey moment where the blade slipped out and I had to rearrange mid-shave. How I managed to get away with my face intact I have no idea. As soon as this thing is over and done with, it's going in the bin, wouldn't give this to my worst enemy!

Challenge - Colour Coordinated

I hated this challenge, at one point I had an entire picture where it was pretty much all yellow, hurt my eyes to look at it. So despite the massive amount of time allowed, this was the best of the bunch.

Photocontest

On the plus side I managed to sneak some 'Birds' into it without it being too random.

Have a good'un all.

Cheers

Marc
