SoS: April 18, 2016 - April 24, 2016

It is unicorn dandruff

 

Thank You Sir!

 

The great Canadian freeze for Wednesday morning:
Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Junjie/Astra day 3
First Canadian Polar Vortex SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Osage Rub AS
YSL Pour Homme EdT

Not quite as potent as a Glacial freeze, but still damned potent. These are all the right tools to put icicles in a man's face, believe me!

Great old shave tonight, BBS... Nice blade razor combo. Gonna write this one down for future use

The soap, great performance that we've come to expect from CRSW, in a nice light fresh scent. Love it

Delor de Treget has a citrus and woodsy tone to it and pairs well and has good skincare.

G'evening gents.

that's strange-"tonifiante" and tonificante" mean the same thing in different languages! What's the meaning of that extra C?

 

TUESDAY SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: Musgo Real classic
Razor: Gillette Tech/Somerset
Blade: Perma Sharp (6th shave)
Brush: RazoRock plissoft
Soap: Henri Et Victoria- Cognac & Cuban Cigars
Post: Master Topaz aftershave/USB


Excellent shave tonight. The soap whipped up a great lather and has a beautiful scent. This was the last shave with this blade since it was dragging a bit. First go with the Topaz. Found 3 new aftershaves at a beauty supply store. And they were marked 50% off. I like it but the wife said it was a no go. May end up putting some Balm on depending on how dry my skin feels. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

I couldn't say. My knowledge of Spanish is not that good. I guess that since it's a language that's related to French even though many words are spelled differently they can still be understood either way. The stuff is still the same in any language and in any culture or country!

 

Oh you mean the Osage is the same wherever? Yes . But remember I noticed I made a mistake and saw the word "tonifiante" a week ago, and now here comes the tonifiCante. I'm glad the latter was always there in the first place!!!

 

Where did you go...Sally's Beauty Supply?

 

It's all good!

My wife speaks perfect Castillian Spanish in addition to perfect French because she is Israeli of Moroccan descent. I am Israeli of Russian descent but I speak perfect French as well from being educated in French. My Spanish is very, very poor although I am able to understand a lot of what I read. Unfortunately I find Spanish a difficult language - even my knowledge of Italian is quite a bit better.

That's a very nice looking razor

 

Guy, I am curious if you face or bowl lather with that brush? It seems like if you used paintbrush strikes, you would actually wipe away the lather.

 

Bowl lather. The flathead acts like a 28mm brush. No issues at all with it

 

It's quite nice.

 

Thanks Joseph!
