Thanks. Things kinda went well. The cancer surgery was a complete success. But the 6 blood clots in my lungs afterwards wasn't so cool. Set me back a bit. Doing well now and glad to be back at work.
Razor-Merkur Vintage Slant Blade-Shark Brush-24mm silvertip Cream-sample that Martin gave me-don't know name, but it was great alum block Osage Rub TSD ISZ As Milk -actually missed a shave Sunday-very rare since converting. What to do with an extra days growth-a Slant of course-mowed those whiskers down and probably could have gotten away with one pass but I had all that nice cream on the brush-can't let it go to waste.
Gillette New razor with Derby Extra blade Omega boar brush (beech wood handle) TOBS Lavender shaving soap Aqua Velva Ice Blue aftershave Finished off with a splash of Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum on the back of my neck and my chest to start the day out right.
A good shave to make up for the bad one last night! Hot Shower Super Speed/ Feather (2) VDH boar brush Williams SS Cold water splash Old Spice AS DFS today... Ah, the Feather never disappoints, though there was a bit of burn afterward when the Old Spice splashed!
Tuesday's Shave Arko Shave Stick Omega 10029 Baby-Pro Boar '65 Slim/@3/Derby/(Day 1) Arko Maximum Comfort AS Cream Arko Aqua AS Splash One pass DFS, with a little skin stretching...Didn't shave for 2 days, but no need to bump up the setting. The Slim/Derby combo, gave meaning to the old "Hot knife through butter" line....very gentle and very smooth... I'm not shooting for a one pass "injector type shave", just happened...
Tuesday 59' FatBoy (8) Iridium (5) Tweezerman Badger Home Made PreShave Oil + M Bomb TSD Cool Water SS Dominican Bay Rum Lime Stephans Island Lime 5 blade, 4+ passes. Took an extra pass this morning, and I got a little irritation. Nothing a little Bay Rum sting couldn't handle. A fine shave.
Hot Shower Vitamin E Oil Preshave Imperial Extra Hollow Ground Semogue 1305 Arko Shavestick Ivy Club/Clubman Bay Rum hybrid Polo Black (Knock Off) Pretty close to BBS even though I only did two passes N-S and S-N. This razor and the Boker Red Injun seem to have held their edge the best. The rest of the fleet has had touch up hones but these two seem to do just fine with the initial hone and then just a strop and go. Jimmy Buffett and Bob Marley on tunes. Great shave to start a great day
Tuesday: Omega Wooden Handle Ming Shi TTO/Sharp day 3 Proraso Wheat Germ-SC :love008 :love008 :freezing :freezing Tet a tet-AS Balm :love008 :love008 :freezing :freezing Lubriderm unscented moisturizer Giorgio Beverly Hills-EDT Today, I had a great Italian shave with a Russian finish--this Proraso Red cream should never have been discontinued, because it's so good. The Tet a tet balm is very cooling and soothing, and it smells very nice.
