Maybe it's got something to do with Friday being "Erev Shabbat" (the eve of the Jewish Sabbath), but since I began using this "Holy Trinity" of razor, blade, and shaving cream (as listed, above), I have always had a relaxed, enjoyable half-hour, and come away with a BBS shave, looking-and-smelling like the proverbial "million dollars".

Now I'm going to the gym, to work-out. I know it's not fair, but if those other guys are too "macho?" to shave before working-out, instead of after, well, who cares?

Baby boy born 27th March. SWMBO told me that she didn't want him getting confused as to how his daddy smells so I had to choose what shaving stuff to stick with for the next month or two...

(In the style of Jessie's Diets on The Fast Show):

This season I shall be exclusively using Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet.

Shaving soap
After shave balm
Eau d'toilette *
Shower gel *
Shampoo *
Deoderant *
Soap *

Personally, I reckon I smell great!

* -- ordered as the travel pack online.

I must say that the Penhaligon's mail order service is 5*/Platinum/Plus. Despatch was within 24 hours. Packaging was excessive and neat. The box was wrapped in two layers on Penhaligon's tissue paper with precision never seen before. This was placed in a piece of foam cut to the exact size required. The foam fitted snugly in a box sealed with tape on every edge and corner. Finally the whole box with a neat label was despatched in a courier bag. Wow.

So, with apologies I shall not be posting here for a few months until the BB supplies run out....

DJ, what a LARGE brush you have there!

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting my face surgically enlarged so that I can use it more often.

OK...but we're going to need "before" and "after" photos.
