Greetings,

Early morning shave,

(Face & Head Shave.)

Another eclectic shave set up where everything paired together wonderfully.

The LEA Classic Sensitive Shaving Cream which I haven't used in some time created a wonderful lather in a short space of time.

The sandalwood scent is different comparing it to the Proraso sandalwood scent it's more of a light fresh sweet scent to my nose with a nice mild menthol kick feel and pairs together really well with the Floid ASL.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original ASB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

thank you Barry.

Great news, Joe! Praise the Lord that you are feeling better and eating normally.

Congrats Gary. I think you'll be very pleased with them. I love how the Semogue boar brushes break in.

Not a good shave at all this morning, and I hate to say that, given it was my first one with my Bill Neumann(1911) aftershave. Both my technique and, apparently, tools(well, the shave cream soap)were not good. In fact, I'm switching to a regular shaving soap for tomorrow to test my "logic". "Shaving cream soap" may not be for me. North Porcupine and the right cheek&sideburn area were the only unbothered sections. I'm not sure I prepped the brush properly. What do I mean. That I may not have opened the knot wide enough to gather in more soap during the loading. I'm banking on things to improve tomorrow. For today, it's Most Average.

thank you Charlie.you are 100% correct on both counts.they break in beautifully..and i 'm very happy.

Lovely Lea Shave my friend.

Thank you Charlie. It was great to eat something substantial. Stomach is a little sore, but 6 days of roller-coaster rides will do that to anyone. Thanks for your prayers. Today, I may increase my bike session at the gym to 20 minutes at a slow pace. I won't do any weight training until next week and will start again at a lighter pace. At that point, it will be 2 weeks of not doing any resistance training.

Awesome shave with your new Semogue brush Gary.

thank you Joe.

Thanks Joe
