Friday January 17th SOTN A strange bag / package showed up from Japan today - my Schick prolines! So obviously I had to load one up and give it a go. Wow, they are something else - very smooth and sharp. I wasn't sure it was cutting initially. A little mild irritation that the alum took care of but I am BBS everywhere which is very tough for my beard. I could probably get away with a 2 pass shave with touch-ups in my trouble areas and still be DFS. Craziness. I know what razor / blade combo I'm using tomorrow .

Woohoo!
Saturday morning: Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Junjie/Derby day 6 Simply Bee SS Bull Dog Moisturizer Aqua Velva Musk AS Splash There was no way that I was going to use anything mentholated today because the temperature outside is -18 Celsius. The Simply Bee soap always gives me fantastic lather, its mild honeycomb scent is nice, and its skincare is brilliant. The Bull Dog moisturizer is so soothing, and the Aqua Velva Musk aftershave to me anyway, smells great. Three passes did the job superbly - what a cracker of a shave this was!
