SotN Late night shave. Gingers Garden Rose Petals Soap Fat Boy w/Wilkinson Sword RSC PS Balm The Gingers Rose Petals soap was awesome. Very lightly scented and the same great lather and shave as all of her awesome stuff. I'm pretty sure I'm sensitive to the RSC products that I have tried. I think it's the Tea Tree Oils. Face is kinda burning, This has happened the last three time I've used it and never any other time. So, it get's PIF' d to my neighbor. He loves the stuff so he'll be happy.
Hi gents, today's morning shave in a hurry: Warm water, Musgo Real Lavender shaving cream, Semogue boar brush with steel boal, Dorco 4-blade-cartridge razor (wtg/atg), cold water, Musgo Real Lavender After Shave. Have a nice day and take care!
Thursday Col Conk Almond soap bowl lathered with Vie Long 12603 horsehair EJ 89dl with Personna Super Blue blade (3) 3 passes, cold water splash and finish with Aqua Velva Ice Blue Nice shave. I like the Aqua Velva, but I don't like the bottle, too much comes out of the bottle. I probably won't buy it again just because I don't want to go to the trouble of transferring it to another container, there are too many other good aftershaves.

I enjoy the "sting" of the aftershave. Most times I follow with an ice cube rub to close the pores. But, this morning I did not for whatever reason. Frank

Thursday: L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash #6 Horsehair Super Speed/Shark day 4 Pascale SC Svoboda AS Balsam Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Dolce & Gabbana EDT The lather from this Pascale cream is absolutely fabulous - so little product gives enough for 5 guys to shave. The scent is very nice also, but I wish the menthol effect was stronger because it's hardly noticeable. It's still a wonderful cream and I thank my dear friend Veli for sending it to me. Another dear friend sent me the Svoboda balsam which is so cooling and protective of sensitive skin, and that friend is our very own Dmitry. (Asd) The Aqua Velva felt icy and nice after this great BBS shave!
