Le Grand Chypre (Barrister & Mann) lime chypre
Shave 27 ・ 146 g left
It’s the first full day of summer here in the upper hemisphere, and I’m kicking it off with two of my favorite things: Gerald Durrell’s hilarious first memoir, My Family and Other Animals, and this tub of Le Grand Chypre shaving soap. The book is about a family who moves from soggy Britain to the Greek island of Corfu and discovers a stunningly beautiful world around them. The soap is about citrus and resin and incense and sea breezes. Talk about a match made in heaven.

Sounds like a good plan Bouki. Do you watch the PBS series, and if so, is it faithful to the book/trilogy?

That's the problem with soo many razors..........oh, forgot about this one. I should give it a try again. GREAT shave and tell self, you should use this more. Too many like that is a good problem to have I guess. Just a little cutting of the blade to fit over the square posts and then attention to align the blade straight when loading. Not as big a deal as it sounds. Have a great day Everyone !
