Your shaving mantra
First, full shower and deep pore cleansing. Then a layer of Truefitt & Hill pre-shave oil to give a smoother surface for the shave, followed by a Truefitt & Hill sandalwood shaving cream, applied with a badger hair shaving brush and shaved with an Art of Shaving straight razor. A splash of freezing cold water thereafter to close the pores, followed by a Chanel after-shave balm.

Weekday breakfast is fried eggs, sunny side up, and bacon. Occasionally, there can be a ham and cheese omelette made a little runny and with no wrinkles on top. Weekend, on Sunday I avoid breakfast and go straight for a big brunch.
