Thu. 2/15/18 A fine three pass shave this morning. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️
A very enjoyable shave which turned out BBS in two passes. This Vi-John cream I received from Mohamed lathers extremely easily and rich, smells decent, and leaves the skin feeling very clean as well as comfortable. I love that Nip Man balm because it's so cooling and soothing. Enjoy your day!
