Yesterday was the first shave I have had since Wednesday. I got a pretty good windburn on my face Wednesday, and just wasn’t in the mood. This shave made up for the lost ones. Super shiny lather, built on the face with a scrubby boar, got right through the stubble, and made sure that first pass was slick. After that, it was three more comfortable passes, leaving me almost baby smooth; just a couple little spots that I didn’t quite get.
Adidas makes a really good aftershave. Unlike most of the drugstore aftershaves I have tried, it has some/more skin care additives in it, and leaves a guy’s face feeling pretty good. It has a good scent with some staying power, and is cheap as dirt. This bottle my wife bought for me, so I know it is always a safe choice.
I am jumping in on the shavettes for January. Not much of a stretch I know, but I will be using them for all my weekly shaves. I may break for straight shaves on the weekend, we’ll see.
It has been bitter cold in the Northwoods the last two weeks. We haven’t quite hit a -40, but I had -39 one night last week. Highs have been in the single digits to teens below zero, and it definitely feels like winter. When it gets this cold, car exhaust freezes to the roads, and when it never gets a chance to warm up, it just builds into a literal skating rink. Driving is like an extreme sport right now.
