Thanks Clint

 

Now I'm hungry again and that looks a lot better than the hamburger I had for supper.

 

They did come out pretty darn good. Hamburgers sound good too though. Maybe tomorrow.

Well, everyone has the right to pick their poison to elevate their blood sugar or cholesterol.

 

You will because imo you are learning with a shavette and that will help you develop a soft touch. Take all the time you need to be competent with a shavette before you actually move to straights. The transition will be wonderfully smooth.

 

I don't know if your suggesting I have high cholesterol but I assure you I'm fine.

Hmm my best assumption is cigarette smoke lots of either aramis or Brut and any other musk based scent that is super strong. LOOL granted these are all guesses.

 

Your welcome!

 

It was meant to be a tongue-in-cheek statement, Jim. It was my way of saying some people like cheeses and others like sweet teriyaki sauce. Therefore, Viva la difference!

Greetings,
A new shave set up to start another long bank holiday weekend....maiden shave with the Cella Organic Aloe Vera Shaving Cream. The Verdict?....Let me say that I'm very very, fond of the classic Cella Crema Da Barba (Tallow) with it's wonderful cherry almond fragrance which has always gave me superb acceptable shaving results with no irritation or drying out issues. The Organic Aloe Vera version is a thirsty cream you only need a small almond size amount i to create a good lather. I personally find it to have a better slickness than the Cella Crema Da Barba "which is statement in itself" and the post shave feel is equally as good.
The scent of it i would describe to my nose, as 'light & fresh'.
A wonderful pre-birthday present to myself which i look forward to using again in my future shaves.
The Parker Variant/Polsilver was a superb combo. The Polsilver blades, like the Gillette Sharp Edge. (yellow) feel slightly rough on the first pass, but mellow out after that delivering a smooth sharp performance, cutting through my stubble effortlessly.

A enjoyable 3 pass +pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a few generous squirts of Milton-Lloyd ~ no.9 Victor EDP to the pulse points.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

This afternoon i have an appointment for my 2nd Covid-19 vaccine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Awesome shave. I have the Cella red and love the almond/cherry scent. I have never tried the Cella AV and probably won't because I don't like bland scents. Have a great day Barry!

Thank you all for the prayers and kind words.
My mother was transported to Rehab yesterday evening, but when they discovered blood in her urine,
they refused to accept her, so the ambulance returned her to the hospital.
Re-admitted to the hospital.
So, we're off for a visit and then on to the assisted living center to continue working on her new apartment.
Got a good shave in, but distraction led to a few bloody spots.
Today's FOTD®​

This juice doesn't get much attention, but the house of Rasasi is known for excellent scents.
This is a smoky/leathery perfume, with sweet undertones and a background of a campfire.​

 

Great ahave and color coordination of your gear Dave! Have a wonderful Saturday!
