    Sunday morning:

    L’Oreal Barber Club Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 14
    Bundubeard On The Berg SS
    L’Oreal Barber Club ASB
    Bleu de Chanel AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    It sure felt great to use Jaco’s wonderful On The Berg soap this morning - this stuff has a lovely scent which I find difficult to describe, the lather is awesome, and does it ever leave a comfortable postshave feeling. The L’Oreal Barber Club balm gives terrific moisturizing and soothing, while the Bleu de Chanel aftershave and eau de parfum smell magnificent. The Astra Green blade earned its retirement after two weeks of perfect BBS shaves - this one was no exception!

    Have a nice Sunday - stay healthy and safe!

    Well Gents......seems every February I grow weary of being bearded (started in August 2020) and this year is no exception. So, yesterday afternoon I enlisted my bride of 50 years to grab the clippers and knock down the whiskers to about a 2 day growth length. Used some canned Barbasol and a Fatip Grande with a used 7 O'Clock blade to take care of the survivors. Not too close as I didn't want any irritation or beard loss remorse! Applied some RR XXX aftershave balm. Very soothing.

    So this morning, I loaded a new Astra SP into my trusty Fatip Grande, whipped me up some RR Don Marco lather with a Semogue 620 boar, did a two pass, minor touch up and splashed on some RR Don Marco aftershave splash. WOW! It's good to be back! Smooth, scented and ready to shovel some snow and watch the Super Bowl.

    Before & After mug shots and a snowfall bonus pic.

    Clean-shaven you look a lot like me(which means if I skipped shaving for a month, I'd probably look like you :).
