Back to the REAL freeze!

Bill, I had a dentist appointment today. Great staff there, but the best "employee" is the dentist's dog, who is there to "check" on patients from time to time. A Boxer named Rudi....always a thrill to see him!

Here it is for Thursday's shave:

prep-Nivea 4 Men COOL Bodywash(in shower)
shave-Rise Super Foam Regular
razor-Gillette Sensor 2 Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Wind Drift by English Leather(via MEM)

my aforementioned dentist appointment(in my reply to Bill's lineup), cost me a bit more than usual-as they did some X-rays, in addition to the cleaning, so I'm going to have to sit on what I have shave-wise for a while. Not that bad of a situation, as I think about it. Come November, I'll celebrate my "half-birthday" by making a purchase to get ready for the cold weather.

SOTD - 14 September 2016



Have a nice evening!
☺

The balm is for after the shave. Right now I am using True Grit, a coffee exfoliating soap followed by the Pre Shave Oil. Pretty much the same routine every morning. Since I switched to this routine, pretty much guaranteed two pass, irritation free, no cut shaves every morning.

Very good shave this evening. Looking forward to using my Ever-Ready 1914 tomorrow with the new Gem by Personna PTFE blades.

Shave 18. Maiden shave with this razor. It's a stunner.

It's the first wedge I've ever used and I have some learning to do. After four passes I got a good result but I'm guessing the wedge requires some subtle changes in technique that I have't figured out yet. Despite needing four passes to get a good result there was minimal feedback from the Alum. I was expecting more given the repeated strokes. Very smooth but I haven't unlocked the secret to efficient stubble reduction.
