Craig packs for The Event22 Nov 2019 23:46
Standing calmly at the large Bay window of his townhouse looking down onto the Newtown, Edinburgh, swaying gently from side to side, anticipating the weekend ahead, he startles passers by on their way to the theatre and they hurry past averting their eyes disappearing into the night.
Swiftly he turns, his lithe body neatly showered, Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower body wash. Aqua di Parma Colonia deodorant. A gel ice pack, Eau de campagne exfoliator, a traditional wet shave with Santa Maria Novella Crema da Barba and pure high mountain white badger hair Plisson shaving brush. The pure white and slick shaving foam is neatly cleaned away with a hand crafted Japanese Kamisori razor. The last of the shaving cream is washed away by ice cold water. Tabacco Toscano after-shave lotion. Crema Pre-dopo Barba lightly applied to restore moisture. A perfect three pass shave. He cleans his teeth with Marvis toothpaste and rinses with Floris Rose concentrated mouth wash. He gently taps his face dry with a hand woven Tenugui Japanese towel. He moves to choose a cologne his hand briefly hovering over a crystal decanter of Creed Aventus, briefly, before moving to a bottle of Eucris eau de parfum and applying it discretely. He stares into the mirror and cold hard blue eyes stare back.
He moves calmly to dress. Silk Pantherella socks. H. Huntsman briefs. Gieves & Hawkes casual trousers and jacket. Brunello Cucinelli handmade leather belt. Henry Poole & Co handmade crisp white shirt. He calmly slides on a pair of handmade Stafano Rici leather driving shoes.
He turns to pack. This is the easy part.
Into a small leather travel case be places a bottle of chloroform and a lassoo.
He gently but firmly closes the brown calf leather travel case and reaches for the car keys and a map of Coventry.
