ATG has always been especially rough on me, my hair coarse. But a little razor burn I can live with; it's the ingrowns that come after that trouble me. Will brew up a home-made TendSkin (Arko Komando, Aspirin) soon to help combat ingrowns, should they arise. ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBHfIEpmukc&feature=related
Wednesday evening shave, face and heade, in hotel -Weishi gunmetal -7 O'Clock SE -Omega 20086 boar -Arko Stick -Alum Block -Oglalla Limes & Peppercorns sample I'm surprised, but the Weishi and 7 O'Clock aren't a good match. Liking the Oglalla scent, but could use a little moisture. If I had a full bottle, I'd add a little glycerin or corn husker's lotion. (also this is my 1,000th post!)

06 Aug 09 All I can say is WOW!!! Hot Shower (washed face with Eucalyptus Spearmint Soap) Gillette Slim Adjustable (set at 9) TSD Wheat Cream Iced Subzero Osage Rub Pinaud Lime Sec EDC I seldom use creams but this one could quite possibly change my mind. The menthol blast throughout was amazing and if you're not a morning person and need to wake up this is the set up for you. After the initial menthol blast from the shaving cream the cold water rinse seemed to turn it up another notch. Then came the Osage Rub which took the menthol blast clean off the charts. All this stuff worked together so well and the menthol blast was absolutely incredible. Even now, roughly 10 minutes after my shave, my hands are still icy and tingling. Bravo! Good Show. This set up will make regular appearances. That's a fact. Even as we speak I have an puck of Iced Subzero Soap inbound. I only hope there's nothing lost in the translation from cream to soap. Fortunately, a large jug of Osage Rub appeared in yesterday's mail as well.
