1. perhaps telephoto lenses are a thing of the past, but I do remember seeing pictures taken by them, and they looked quite funny.

    Just thinking about this shave is making me shiver. This Polar Vortex soap is made in Barrie, Ontario and excellent. Although the scent is relatively mild it's still very pleasant, and it gives TONS of awesome lather with TONS of strong menthol - in fact I'd say that it ranks at about the third coldest soap I have after the Glacials and the Frozen Tundra. Skincare wise, it's also really good. The Diana Sport balm from Austria is another bona-fide iceberg, and a slap or two of the Rubby Dubby Doo can cause your teeth to chatter! ;) :D

    Decent 3 pass shave today. On the 4th shave with this blade and it is still going strong. No signs of tugging or dulling of the blade. Accidently put a little too much menthol glycerin in the lather because the consistency was a little runny. Finished off with CVS AV and the SC Resolution balm. Hope everyone had a great shave and a great day. Stay frosty my friends!

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Tabac Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip
    Gillette Super Adjustable (8)
    Astra Super Platinum
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Aqua Velva AS

    The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my Gillette Super Adjustable razor on 8 and an Astra Super Platinum blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Tenth shave of No Variation NoVember. One-third of the way through. So far, so good...
