Friday Morning: *First time using items in BOLD Hot Shower/Hot Towel 1966 Gillette Flare Tip SS Personna Red Pack (Shave #1) Tweezerman Deluxe La Toja SC Pinaud Clubman Bay Rum A/S TSD AS Milk Preferred Stock First of all, the lather I got from the La Toja was out of control. Probably some of the best lather I've ever generated. The scent is interesting, smelled like dirt at first but then started to grow on me and smell pretty nice. The Red Pack Personna performed pretty well also. The strange thing was that during the shave, things didn't feel right, but when it was all said and done, my face looked and felt fantastic. Great shave today.
Musgo Real Glyce Lime Oil Soap Nancy Boy Shavemac 177 Futur @ 1.5 Gillette Swede Pinaud Clubman Nancy Boy ASG First time use of Nancy boy and I like it alot. Not so much the A/S Gell but the cream is a keeper.
Viernes // 29/05/09 Pre Hot Shower Shave Personna 2-Blade (Blue) Shavemac 177 Silvertip TOBS Sandalwood SC Post Skin Bracer Green Vas. Moisture Lock Result: A good shave. The skin scraping is still carrying over, but at least I didn't make matters worse. I one-passed today, and it felt fairly good. Hopefully this will be enough of a break for my skin for the next few days to heal up. Music: Violin Concerto #1 in A Minor, BMV 1041 - Johan Sebastian Bach http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6DKSYnP2xU
Nice pic I'm telling you, your irritations will linger until you get some cortisone cream. I remember waiting a week after I started using a DE and skin-scraping, then using a disposable and getting the red marks and discomfort back as soon as the razor ran over the trouble spots.
