Tuesday morning: L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/Rapira day 9 RVT Frosty Bay Rum SS Prep ASB Krampert’s Bay Rum AS Splash Aramis EdT Today I was in the mood for one of my dear friend Mo’s soaps so I pulled out the Frosty Bay Rum. It’s a vegan based soap with a lovely scent, it gives AWESOME lather, the menthol sensation is not particularly strong but it’s still very pleasant, and it’s very skin friendly. The Prep’s scent is so close to the old Noxzema cream, (I love it so much) it’s so soothing, moisturizing, as well as cooling, and the Krampert’s Bay Rum aftershave not only smells beautiful, it feels so good on my skin. Finally the delightful Aramis fragrance which even my wife loves on me and I’m ready to enjoy the day. Three glorious passes gave me a splendid BBS shave! See y’all tomorrow - have a great day! Happy Fourth of July my dear friends!

I called a change of shave at the sink of scrimmage this Independence Day morning: prep-NiveaMen bodywash(COOL)in shower shave-Stoylin Glacial Sheep brush-Crown King(Duro Spindle Tali) razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE A.S. Clubman Reserve Gent's Gin I was glad to call the audible and do a much cooler shave. That Stoylin Glacial really hit the spot...wow. The brush provided good lather. I thought I felt a cut coming on at the right edge of my jawline, but nothing happened. Zero across the board on Cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. 2 passes. I felt so cold from the Stoylin Glacial soap that I wondered if the Gent's Gin A.S. would be WARM in comparison. No, it felt cold too, just not as cold as the Sheep. To be expected. As Outstanding As It Gets.
