Tomorrow I'm turning 40, which means this will be my last shave in my 30's. I'm starting to realise I'm probably not going to get a carreer as a superstar athlete or musician with millions in the bank and millions of fans after all. Nor did I ever get that fancy schmancy degree to secure a high paying job with great bonuses and even greater business cards.

But though some lifestyles are lost to me over the years others are gained, like the simple luxury and joy of traditional wet shaving. So tonight I'm treating myself to a nice, long shave with some of my very favourite products:

Lather: RazoRock Mudder Focker
Brush: Mühle Kosmo Silvertip badger
Razor: Executive Shaving Outlaw Mild
Blade: Treet "Black Beauty" (1)
AS: RazoRock Plague Doctor splash & Trufitt&Hill Sandalwood balm

And it was a brilliant shave!
