SoS: January 16th ~ January 22nd, 2012

Feel better and enjoy the games today and relax. If I lived close by I'd bring u some Matzoh Ball Soup

 

I will buy the cheapest can I can find and try that

 

You guys have such a way with words!

 

Sunday: A Middle East Menthol Shave!

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/new 7 AM
Lord Emofresh SC (from Egypt)
Arko Aqua AS Gel (from Turkey)
Chabrawichi 555 Cologne (from Egypt)


Well, now I have one less shaving cream tube in the den because I finally finished off this Lord Emofresh cream, BUT: I also have 2 new back-ups which I bought this past week, plus another which I received as a gift. It's such a nice cream with a gorgeous scent, enough lather for 5 guys to shave, and some menthol. The Arko Aqua gel is so cooling and soothing - it helped to make the end of this shave an absolute pleasure!

 

That line made me chuckle.

We always like reading about someone who has turned the chore of shaving into the pleasure of shaving, that's what this place is all about.

Congrats!

 

Thanks for the soup...I feel better already... And I'm ready for the games....

 

Nobody makes a better matzoh ball soup than my Mom - it's so haymish and balbotish!

Lazy day today, this head cold I have won't go away, I think it was the fluctuating weather last week between rain and snow that doomed me, but the menthol helped me clean up my sinuses nicely. Fantastic face lather as well, I think I'm getting into the good groove for boar.

 

I logged in to TSD and a Jimi Hendrix concert broke out!

 

Must be a Justin thing as I've had a butt kickin cold all week as well. Sinuses finally unplugged themselves last night so atleast I could smell my shaving soap this morning. Our weather here in Ohio has just been crazy this winter, Sounds the same all over the parts of the world that has a "winter". Last week had extreme cold and snow and this coming week theyre saying thunderstorms tonight and temperatures in the 30's to 40's! Just crazy! the colds and flus are just loving the weather

Decided to clean up the melon today as I was beginning to look like a hippie, I have not shaved my head in a week, just been lazy and sick so this afternoon I just cleaned it up.
gillette ss
brand new astra blade (very nice)
MWF
omega badger
And I must say it is the finest head shave to date. I could almost bowl with it
