Beautiful photo, lovely gear, and awesome report, Joseph! I'm sorry to hear the Platinums aren't working out as well as you would like.
A terrific Tech shave, Charlie. Funny, when I shaved with a DE last Sunday, I found myself stretching the skin a lot more than I used to--like it's become ingrained--that's a good thing! Enjoy your day, sir!
YW, and good point about scents. Off to the gym in an hour or so. They(the gym)sent out their policy on Coronavirus, which I thought was very professional of them. My PT is going to be quite challenging, I believe. But that's a good thing. Some slight sadness though-the gym there is the same gym I would bring my Mom to for HER PT.
Awesome set up, shave, and photo, Jason! It's true. You have to be very careful what you say around the generous folk here. I am a naturally effusive person, and I frequently geek about the many wonderful things that pop up on this thread... then occasionally find them in my mailbox the following week. The Missus is starting to wonder what is going on over here. Can't say that I blame her--it's kind of a rare thing.
Ah, the joys of parenting--nothing like watering and prying a child's eyes open in the morning (and then having to do it for yourself a few days after). Hopefully you feel better soon and avoid the pink eye entirely.
Oh I did very much. Central Texas Soaps has become one of my favorite soaps. I already have two, and might get one for spring and summer that I think would be a great match for Aqua Velva.
That is a beautiful set up, Andrew--love that brush handle! Have a fantastic hump day, and again, hope you and yours get well soon (or stay well if they're healthy).
Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen! Andrew, I hope you and Declan bounce back quickly! Jason, my Bride read an article that talked about the benefits of using almond oil and shea butter to reduce wrinkles and help retain moisture. I need all the help I can get. I purchased a small bottle of almond oil from Amazon for about $4. Tim, I'm really glad to hear that skin stretching is becoming second nature.
