And I'm a big guy also!

 

Good for you Jeff. I would have backed you up.

 

Thanks buddy!

 

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.

 

True. But I can tell you without bragging that I'm actually very gentle and kind by nature, but I'm 6'5" and 250 lbs. I also hold a 2nd Dan in Shotokan Karate and I have over 30 years of Muay Thay experience. I also get extremely hot-tempered if I'm provoked. I do my best to keep a cool head, but it ge hard sometimes.

 

Thanks Douglas,
take care. . Jamie

Which Kiehl's tonic do you use? I was in the store recently, and they almost sold me on a calendula tonic, but I wavered at the price tag.

 

Arko/Cremo Cooling cream
B-400 WD High Mountain badger
Osaka suribachi bowl
'46-'47 Gillette Aristocrat DE
Astra Superior Platinum
Alum, Osage Rub, Proraso Refresh

 

Thanks Doug. This may sound unbelievable, but I never used Old Spice Aftershave! Tomorrow will be the first time. I realize that this is the new formula, but that is all you can buy in the store. I feel like the 50 year old virgin.

Tuesday's Shave


Nivea Men Face Wash
Soap Commander Renewal Shaving Soap
Bunny B-400
Gillette 195
Rockwell
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Florida Water AS

The Soap Commander Renewal Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Bunny B-400 two-band badger brush. I did two passes the Gillette 195 razor and Rockwell Swedish Stainless blade, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

if u like it, try a knock off old spice from family dollar or cvs.. it is all made by vijon. there very nice , cheaper and seems to last longer...
