Earthquake, again​

Yet another quake and this one has been really strong, the strongest so far. Not much to say about today's shave because all of my thoughts are for those who are suffering from the tremendous quakes we are having since August. Houses, monuments, churches, mountains collapsing down, people walking hopeless in the middle of the remains just waiting for all this to come to an end. And who knows when it will end. I consider myself very lucky because, although Perugia - the city where I live - is just few tens of miles away from the main area of quakes, we just listen to the rattling of doors, windows and walls shaken by the quake, objects and furniture moving around and nothing else. Only a little of fear and you know there is nothing you can do but waiting for it to end while thinking there are people not so far from here who are not as lucky as I am. And I cannot even imagine how scared they are and the fear they feel day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.​

@eezee - Interesting grouping of aromas. How is the Pecksniff's balm?

It's good. The cedar wood is far more pronounced than the mandarin. I got it on sale at T.J. Maxx for $4.99 so I'm not going to complain!

SOTD Halloween....

Heres a scary shave.... a Cart!!

This is the actual handle that I started shaving with back in 89 or so.... Theres a lot of memories connected. It was bought for me by my dad that evening that I asked if he would show me how to shave. He ran with me to the Loebs/IGA in Brantford, Ontario and let me pick... man was I cool scraping the peachfuss from my face. That ended pretty soon when it was a daily chore.

The shave went surprisingly well (SAS/CCS-ish level). No irritation (better technique nowadays). But I was instantly reminded of why I never went ATG with this thing... Even with a brand new blade, it was tuggy. No bueno there...XTG would have to do.

Felt odd but nice to be able to take it for a spin... will it replace my DE/SE's.... NO!!!



Razor: "Vintage" 1989 Gillette Sensor
Blade: Gillette Sensor Cartridge (1)
Brush: Isana Black Fiber Synthetic
Soap: TFS 70th Anni. Sotto la Mole (great scent)
AS: Witchhazel / Fine L'Orange Noir

Hope everybody is safe and well... Thoughts are with the Earthquake stricken. Be safe!!
