Shave; To say todays shave was anything less than Humble would be a lie.
I was fortunate to ‘’win’’ the PIF from the generosity of
@Mark1966 and
@alfredus. To make it even more P&C orientated the brush was x
@TroyTools and the razor has been owned by
@MrT @Gargravarr and
@StratMan.
The EDP and soap was made for a late Member Tim /
@Draco Noir by the late Dan /
@todras, so very Humbling and Sad while shaving, when I reflected on 2 passed Ambo friends, taken in their 30’s and 40’s (both with pre-teen children) by
F-ing Cancer.
The shave soap was easily lathered and very slick, I could easily of used my Kamisori, the scent was like a hint of woods with a touch of lemon, the EDP was strong very amber scented and according to my daughters was ‘’very nice’’ 3 hours later.
I will use the soap and EDP again for my 70th in January as it’s so special knowing the history.
Merry Christmas.
