Thursday's


Nivea Men's Face Wash
Cella
Jayaruh WC2 Synthetic
Schick Krona
Personna Super Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla

The Cella Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh WC2 Synthetic Brush. Two passes with my Schick Krona and a Personna Super Stainless 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 Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Now that I am back to work, my time is very limited. Take a quick shot and go, post when I am able and try to catch up on threads when I can. That said I think I may have the weekend off.


On that note, I would like to thank everyone for your posts. I enjoy seeing them and know the thought and time it sometimes takes. In my case, I need to get an eye examine. What may appear in focus to me may not to you. Sorry about that but I am sure I need different glasses.

 

Yes there an awesome brush and can load up lather like a champ! The smell is a problem with mine to but it doesn't bother me haha just part of the shave. I thought about letting my girlfriend use it to lather her legs for a while to break it in for me!

 

How many passes?

 

Wow! The bushes aren't even awake at 2 am!

 

Thursday morning's action:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/SuperMax Blue day 4
Synergy Frost_byte SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Azzaro Pour Homme EdT

The return of bitterly-cold weather will never deter me from using my heavy-duty menthol goodies. The Neutrogena facial wash will get the ball rolling, the Frost_byte soap can just about give you frostbite because it feels so cold, and the Gold Bond moisturizer adds to that frigid fun. Once I get the Penguin slapped on, I'll be shivering practically the whole day. I'm looking forward to another wonderful shave!
