Today was an early Daddy/Daughter coffee date as I am going to be taking my daughter to school both Tomorrow and Friday as she has Projects to take in and Extra Circulars that she needs some assistance with. I am also still trying the mis-matched cap and coat thing but still linking them both to the outfit. These Tiger Eye Cufflinks were given to me by Nicole’s Step- Dad, (Dave), as he said he has only ever worn them a coupe of times and they have been sitting idle for years. He figured they may as well get some use. As such I build this entire outfit with the cuff links in mind. Just some Greys, Blues, Browns and Gold for today. Todays outfit consists of; Brixton Brood Cap Washed Navy and Aluminium M.J. Bale Chardin DB Herringbone Overcoat in Charcoal M.J. Bale Aston Suit crafted from 100% New England Merino wool in a Charcoal Super 120’s cloth, with a subtle Navy POW check Charles Tyrwhitt Twill Prince of Wales Check Shirt in Cornflour Blue with a French Cuff OTAA Silver Navy And Light Blue Striped Tie OTAA Gold Bond Tie Clip Wife Gifted Navy pocket Sqaure with Anchors and Sail boats Anson Blue leather strap with a Gold Classic Buckle with a curve Charles Tyrwhit Navy Striped socks CNES MTO Oxford with Goodyear welted and crafted from Italian crust leather SOTD - Mancera Intense Cafe with a Bond No9 New York Nights overspray WOTD - Timex Q 1972 Machine Reissue Gold Bracelet Brown Dial Watch “TW2Y45200,” AKA The Mayor

My latest addition to the traditional wet-shaving collection — another Simpson Chubby 3, this time in Manchurian Badger. And yes… I already own a Chubby 3. 😂 My original is a Silvertip, and I absolutely LOVE that brush. In fact, that’s really why I bought another Chubby 3 rather than going looking for something completely different. Sometimes when you find something that simply works, there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel. What interested me this time was experiencing the same iconic Simpson brush with a very different knot. Simpson has been making shaving brushes since 1919, and the Chubby has become perhaps its most recognizable design. It is big, incredibly dense and unapologetically substantial. My original Silvertip has that wonderfully soft, plush feel that makes building and applying a lather almost ridiculously luxurious. The Manchurian, however, is a different animal. It has the distinctive two-band appearance you can see in the picture, but more importantly Simpson's Manchurian hair has noticeably stiffer shafts and greater backbone while still having exceptionally soft tips. So even though these are essentially two versions of the same Chubby 3, they should behave quite differently. My thought is to initially use the Manchurian primarily with my shaving soaps, where that additional backbone should be wonderful for loading the brush and working a harder soap, while keeping my original Silvertip primarily for creams. Not because either brush can't do both — they absolutely can. It's simply another little opportunity to enjoy the differences. There's also a practical side to having two. A natural badger brush should be thoroughly rinsed and allowed to dry completely after every shave. Alternating between them gives each brush plenty of time to dry and spreads the use between two brushes that, properly cared for, I hope I'll be using for a very long time. And that probably gets to the part of this hobby I enjoy most. I don't really collect shaving equipment just to accumulate more things. I enjoy the ritual.
