We will never forget!

Remembering, with honour, relatives in the US and Canadian Armed Forces today. And I am thankful that my Grandfather, Great-Uncles, Uncles, Brother, and Sister all made it home after taking down the Axis Powers in WWII and, later, keeping communism in check.

Today's shave:
Hot towel prep
Neutrogena Skin Clearing (Brushless) Shave Cream (trying to use 'er up; it's like shaving with goose grease)
Gillette Sensor2, non-pivot
Pinaud Clubman A/S

I think I liked the Heartwood best of the samples I got.

all this exciting "Stoylin" talk almost made me forget about Osage!!

Menthol Monday Shower/Shave

Shower- Noxzema facial cleaner, Dr. Bronner's All-One Hemp Peppermint bar soap
Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
Razor- Muhle R41 on a Maggard MR5 handle
Blade- Feather (1)
Soap- Route 66 Twisted Tweed with M-Bomb
Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO
AS- Nivea Sensitive balm followed by Florida Water with M-Bomb

Happy Memorial Day! Remembering all who gave their lives in service to this country. We are forever in your debt.

I haven't shaved since Wednesday and I paid for it today. I grabbed the Feather, first time in this razor. It did a great job reducing my beard down but I got several nicks, lost some blood and my neck is on fire. I'm hoping it was the growth as this blade is a favorite in my less aggressive Gillettes. In any case, the Route 66 performed beautifully, tons of M-Bomb cooled me off a our a.c. won't be installed until tomorrow. I needed the Thayers and the Nivea badly as well as the alum, finished with the Florida Water. I'm off to visit with friends and eat some beef. Have a great day folks!
