The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #224 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A1 Single Edge Razor and the Personna Gem Stainless PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

An enjoyable shave to finish the month off wonderfully.

My month open comb razor focus has been a joy, especially my reacquaintance with the Yaqi DOC Mellon.

In the November focus I will alternate both the Parker 87R & 94R razors weekly for my face shaves pairing them up with the Treet Dura Sharp (Carbon) Blue pack blade, & will continue to use a variety of Cartridge razors for my head shaves.

Tonight is Halloween night ever since I was kid it has always been something I've looked forward to.

Parents uncles, aunties, grandparents, friends, neighbours will be having the usual mass visiting Trick-or-Treating presence from Wolverines, Michael Myers, Witches, Werewolf's, Father-In Laws, Mother-In Laws, Zombies, Vampires, Frankenstein's, Mummy's & Daddy's, Beetlejuice's, Batmans, Batwomen, Jokers, Freddy Krueger's, Chuckie's, Jason Voorhees knocking on the door queuing up for the boat load of goodies people have for them around the world to mark this 'spooky Halloween Trick-or Treating event.

Something That I always mention on Halloween is don't forget to keep your pets indoors and safe from harm while enjoying the spooky & soon to come bonfire-Guy Fawkes night (UK) festivities.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
