Rooney 2/1 Faux Horn Finest (22/52)
Acqua di Parma Colonia shaving soap (vintage)
Paradigm Titanium II/UFO Titan Fine
Wilkinson London Bridge (9)
Acqua di Genova 1853 aftershave
Some of my favorite Italian software. I enjoyed listening to a Requiem Mass by Gounod while I shaved. I am not really a fan of masses or opera, but the music brought back good memories of living in an apartment above a liquor store when I was in college, hearing through the open window on warm days the 78rpm voice of Enrico Caruso played by the Mafioso types that hung out in the liquor store's back room. After my shave I put on a shirt and tie, possibly the first time I've worn a tie since I retired 10 years ago. Even back then I only wore a tie when at business trip meetings. But today it just felt good for some reason to have it on for a couple hours...
