It's still very hot, and LGC is always a nice summery scent.

Have a good Sunday!

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Today is the Hungarian Grand Prix. A Formula 1 race just demands the use of Undercut (a F1 term), and I haven't used this soap in a while.

This was a test shave with the little Tonsorial Gem razor and it was terrific. It's a little sports car which is fitting for the theme of this shave. Anyway, in case you're interested, I made a video.

Dirt, but good dirt.

This tub is in the soft hearts base, I think. Good stuff, but I like Excelsior and Omnibus a tad better.
