    Last night, they sent again a film which is one of the most enjoyable to me.

    There was Sam Jackson in great shape, an extraordinarily versatile actor: I saw him impersonate aggressive soldiers, preachers, tough policemen, billionaires out of their mind and always with great credibility!

    Last night he was a hired gun with a professional ethics, in love with a Salma Hayek (what an acting effort must have been on him, poor guy...), she turned out to be, aggressive and tough like him: an insane and extremely enjoyable couple.
    Also the director was extremely adequate and 'The Hitman's Bodyguard' amused me for acting even if the story was absurdly funny.

    (If Jackson had been paid 1 USD each curse word he pronounced, he could probably look at Bill Gates condescendingly enough!)

    And, to complete the cycle of my fortunes, my awakening was greeted by an enveloping haze, which enhances the endemic silence of where I live.

    While I was looking for a soap with a fragrance suitable for a meteorologically perfect day, I had in my hand a sample of a rose soap (only apparently too lively) enhancing, therefore, my morning satisfaction!

    Le Père Lucien is not one of the most efficient soaps around, but ... how important is efficiency when wrapped up, in a fragrant cloud make you want to take your bicycle and run to Rajahstan?

    It only takes a little effort to lather, giving an efficient and, above all, intoxicating shave!

    39C armed with a SOC slipped on my skin like an old woman on a banana peel and I didn't even feel the desire for an alcoholic AS!
    Aftershave and EdT completed my facial smoothness even if the shades of the fragrances differ; however, they are all good, so I was able to enjoy several roses in the space of half an hour.

    Chet Baker has lent himself to making the rite perfect.

    For 50 cents (cash and in advance) you can come and feel my smooth face and smell my fragrance!

    Williams Wednesday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Williams Mug Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #326
    Russian SHaDE
    Personna Half DE
    CWR
    Florida Water

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #326 Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Russian SHaDE razor with a Personna Half blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
  7. Thank you, Doug!
