I had planned to be on theme today, but then my wife got a bottle of Parfums de Marly Delina (a delicious rose scent) in the mail yesterday, so my cool shave is relegated to Second Luxury Shave ™ later today and I’m going for a Wallygatorian complementary non-dickhole shave pairing (quadrupling?) lather, post, my frag, and my wife’s frag today. I enjoy rose scents a lot, but I don’t have many to work with in my den. This, YRP, Orbit, Rose Santal and that’s about it, I think. I’ll have to keep this in mind when I allow myself again to buy new software. Anyway, this was a very nice combo, even if Gravity sets a cooler mood than Delina.

I’m surprised by how much I enjoy using this Geo.F. Trumper cream. The scent is simple and nice, and a good glob of cream in the bottom of the lather bowl is enough for loads of pink lather. Even the performance is surprisingly good for a cream. I may have reconsider my disdain for shave creams when compared soaps. It may be an unjust prejudice.

The Fili 14 continues to impress me and treat me with great shaves; it’s just so easy to feel and hear this blade cut, it’s like having a friendly guide making sure everything is going well.
