Finally, I Am Clean, Smooth, and Refreshed Once More

No picture today, so use your imagination.

It has been ten days since my last shave. I am feeling really bad about not entering into Open Comb OCtober. With the wife's help, I assembled my modest equipment for today's shave. I chose: Barbasol Original Shave Cream, TOST LE Synthetic brush, Gillette Double Ring razor (1905), Gillette Silver Blue DE blade, and Cella After Shave.

I applied cold water to my face with the brush. Then I squirted a bit of Barbasol onto the end of my brush and built a great lather on my 10 day old beard. I had decided that I would go for a full goatee, today. I did the first pass, and this 114 year old razor with its open comb and sharp Gillette Silver Blue blade reduced the significant areas with ease. I almost opted to call it a shave, but decided to lather up one more time and do a clean up pass ATG. Light easy strokes left me with a clean, close shave. I did a cold water rinse and finished off with Cella After Shave. I am looking fine and feeling fine right now. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed.

Happy you are getting back in the saddle and hopefully feeling better every day.

Thanks. It's the knee, and as long as I keep on top of the oxycodone, it feels great.

Today my choice is based on rigorous logic: very short beard, hence... a mild razor, a sharp blade and an efficient soap.
The fact that I'm in love with its fragrance is just pure accident!

Pennello: Frank Shaving, Silvertip 22
