17 April 2018 A very un-taxing shave today that yielded higher than expected dividends. It was so effortless, I came close to losing interest. The only deduction I can come to is that the hardware and software combination this morning jointly worked together to deliver a BBS shave. I think I owe it all to technique however. Must give credit where credit is due. Cream: Proraso Blue Brush: Omega S10065 synthetic Bowl: Dollar Tree salsa Razor: Fatip Grande Blade: Personna Red (3) Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Tue. 4/17/18 Good morning friends. A truly fine three pass shave today with the Schick Adjustable fitted with a twin blade. Marvelous lather from the Speick shave cream. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

Shower and Shave - Monday Night - 04/16/2018 PAA CANE (2016 edition) soap and splash - My Favorite Menthol scent! Barbershop/Candy Cane delight. THE VALET VC4- my 2nd shave ever with this razor - SS Feather Spineless blade (on 2nd and last shave - great blade - but I only get 2 shaves out of it, i am sure i could stretch it, but i got a million blades - so why bother?) I LOVE THE VC4 - the last Valet made - such a great shave - i find the angle SO EASY - RIGID BLADE ! feels like a Carbon blade - but its not... Take care...

Tuesday April 17, 2018 Razor: Super MX Cartridge (4) Pre Shave Oil: Homemade Brush: VDH Badger Lather: Proraso Green MS: Mennen Afta Each shave with this cartridge, brings a little more experience (not used to 3 blades all at once). It seems that the thicker the Proraso is, the smoother the shave, (well duh). I just didn`t realize the obvious, I guess. On the other hand, the Gillette Guard seems to like thinner lather. With a 2 pass shave, WTG/ATG and some extra clean up around the chin area, I am well pleased (Maybe a BBS), it is smooth, clean and pretty close. God Bless. Bill
