    Cold Water Rinse
    Arko Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #375
    Joseph Elliot Wedge 6/8
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman

    The Arko Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #375 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Joseph Elliot Wedge 6/8 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Saturday:
    hot shower w/Pecksniff's Neroli & Argan Oil shower gel
    TOBS Herbal PreShave Gel
    Merkur Progress (3.5) 2+ passes
    Sharp Hi Chromium (2)
    VDH boar
    AOS Bergamot & Neroli cream in a warm bowl
    Thayers unscented WH
    Imperial Bergamot A/S
    C & E Neapolitan Bergamot edc

    First shave with the Merkur Progess that I won in the TSD Raffle. Very nice shave. I set it at three and a half and wondered on the first stroke if I had a blade in or not. Very smooth. The head is a little heavy so it took a few strokes to get my balance and then after I got the angle right I could hear the toast being buttered. I'm looking forward to more shaves with this excellent razor. Special thanks to @b1hart for donating.

    Anyone with the 2 and 0 keys malfunctioning, today could have problems writing
    the date...

    I am happy to announce that the coronavirus has arrived in the very place where Ilive, so I did food shopping and invited a dozen girl friends to share the isolation I underwent.

    Only later did I realize that they are all Chinese!
    (I only hope someone of them can shave me...)
