Thursday morning's action:

#6 Horsehair
Super Speed/Sharp day 4
Ingram Blue SC
Lubriderm Unscented Moisturizer
Barbon AS
Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui EdT

I had no time to post this SoS this morning so I apologize profusely - in fact it's a fluke that I even had the time to shave at all. It still turned out to be a BBS job in spite of the little time I had. The Ingram Blue cream from Egypt is such a good latherer and its nice minty scent really appeals to me, and the cooling sensation is definitely stronger than the British version. My Barbon aftershave is practically finished so I'm going to have to look into getting myself some more because I really enjoy it. Now, I'll try to figure out a good mentholated set-up for tomorrow morning.

 

Planned Shave for 10/3 ...

OCtober 3's

Dove Men's Face Wash
TOBS Lavender Shaving Cream
Semogue 1305 Boar Brush
Gillette NEW SC
Shark Super Chrome (3)
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The TOBS Shaving Cream face-lathered very easily with my Semogue 1305 Boar Brush. Two passes with my Gillette NEW SC and Shark Super Chrome blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Edit: Yes, I changed my avatar again. There seems to be a fair number of members with Western theme avatars, and I wanted to join in at least for a while. It is the Cisco Kid, one of my childhood heroes.

 

Ah, Glacial Lemon Chill soap - my friend, you gave me a great idea for my shave tomorrow morning and I thank you!

Friday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Sharp day 5
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH
Pino Silvestre EdT

I just can't stay away from these Glacial soaps for more than a couple of days because I love them so darned much - the Lemon Chill has a scent which is the perfect balance of menthol and lemon, and it's such a pleasure to lather up with. The menthol sensation hits right away and becomes stronger and stronger while the lather is on your face. The Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel is so cold that even the insides of your hands feel it after you splash it on and you feel the freezing sensation for a long time. Not even the Rubby Dubby Doo is as powerful as this stuff. Another awesome BBS shave which I enjoyed so much.

Have a great weekend, and to all our Jewish friends I wish G'mar Hatimah Tovah for Yom Kippur which begins this evening.

 

I really want to try aque velva. I thought I could settle for Williams Ice blue haha
