Not a super-smooth shave this morning . . . just enough to make me look presentable.

Off to London again this week so a trip along Jermyn Street will be on the agenda. Last time I popped into a very small, corner-shop chemist at the end of one of the arcades off Jermyn Street. They had Prorasso products (all of them, I think) as well as Tabac shaving soap. I think I'll make a point of getting some stuff from there. I'm thinking Tabac soap and Prorasso Pre / Post.
