Schick E2 Injector Razor w/ Personna blade (7)
Semogue 1250 boar bristle brush,
MWF shaving soap w/ warm water lather,
finish with cold water rinse for a DFS!

 

Hey, Pat.

Yea, I noticed that in your SOS post today Very inventive and I've already given it some thought as I read your post. Thanks for the heads up.

 

The other benefit for me is that I get more time with my Turkish No. 6 and breaking it in. So far I'm not blown away by it, but hey...it was just $2.45.

I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but today my face feels as moisturized as it's ever felt. I'm definitely becoming a believer of a lather prep, be it the same or a different soap.

 

Brian,

I too have this problem with my lower neck on both sides of the adam's apple. Whiskers grow E>W and going ATG there is very tricky. I've recently tried very lightly j-hooking that area with some success, but I'm running out of options.

 

Actually, this makes sense too. Good post.

 

Praying all goes well!

Darn close to BBS! Love the Duckling!
The puck over face technique which I'm testing the last few days, is turning out to be just fine. Dipped the surface of the puck in water before prepping. After prep rubbed puck over stubbles. Lathered with brush. Great lather!

 

Nice shaving Swedish razor, 5/8, SSA. Soaps for the week will be Calani, Mystic Waters and Haslinger.

OCMM/Gem SS PTFE
Vie-Long horsehair brush
Valobra Menthol soap
Cold water splash
Everst AS balm w/cologne

OCMM is a real gem. If I only have enough time for proper prep before each and every shave to use it on daily basis! Pleasant shave!

 

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I am nervous about the surgery but if it makes me feel better I am all for it!

 

Shawna, Corinne's favorite perfume is Thierry Mugler Angel! (I love it on her also!)

 

Everything will go well for you, Shawna - have faith in God.

 

I forgot to mention that the Kolynos Regular cream I shaved with brought back fond and loving memories of Thessaloniki, Greece. When my family and I left Israel, we lived there for several years before we moved to Montreal. I miss that beautiful city so much, so it made me feel so good to use that cream.

 

I love this scent!

I have one staff member that always compliments me on it and knows exactly what I am wearing!

 

Voila! I have the men's version of Angel, but honestly it's not too nice for me. Corinne suits her Angel so well. I guess it's because she is dark and exotic-looking!

 

That's why it suits me so well .. I am so exotic people can't stop looking at me ... I don't know if that's a good thing!
