Simpsons Trafalgar T3

Timeless Aluminium .45

Voskhod (1)

Martin de Candre Original

A very nice shave today, I used top quality products and had a comfortable and enjoyable shave. The Timeless razor is a mild and comfortable shaver, though there is a little blade feel to remind you its there. The brush is a good quality synthetic fibre bristled brush, a bit on the large side – in hindsight maybe a T2 brush would be plenty. The soap is excellent with a beautiful herby scent, I can certainly make out the lavender. To look at it you would think its unused but over 2 or 3 years its been used about 100 times and barely a dent made in it, given the cost of it it has excellent longevity and value. For post shave I used a Baby Moisturiser that is good for adults with sensitive skin and finished off with a fragrance oil, the name of which slips my mind currently – a very nice fragrance with a very strong sillage and lasting.

This was the first SotD I set up to photograph in a long time, I’m undecided whether to stick with the set up or change to black or even use my bookshelves for a background. I’m sure I will chop and change until I decide on a set up or backdrop.
