Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Colgate Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #224
AutoStrop A1
Personna Gem Stainless PTFE
Cold Water Rinse
Florida Water

Yesterday, I had Mohs surgery on my right cheek close to my eye. I got there at 8:45 pm and left at 5:00 pm. He cut out the squamous cell carcinoma and sent me to the waiting room while they did the frozen section. After an hour or so, they called me back to take some more. This time they got it all. They shot me up with lidocaine and did the repair. This is me after the stitching.

First cutting , second cutting , and after stitching .

I shaved, but only the left side and neck areas. The Colgate Mug Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #224 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A1 Single Edge Razor and the Personna Gem Stainless PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I'mglad they got it all. . When can you resume shaving on the right? I don't want to say I'm jealous of your Colgate shave soap, but let me say I'm jealous.

 

Nice brush.

 

for a quick recovery from your surgery .
