A little on the fingertip is all that is needed to apply a thin layer which will slowly absorb into your skin. It does tighten the pores and the skin will appear shiny before it is entirely absorbed. One thing to keep in mind is that you mustn't over-apply; very little is needed to soothe freshly-shaven skin. Has a nice light aroma and I expect this little 50ml jar to last at least one year.

 

Now I really love that brush! I want one that color. It reminds me of the diet Mt. Dew bottle I always have in my hand.
The razor scales are fantastic also. Do you pour that stock or purchase it, PM me please!

 

Ahoy, Matey! The Captain is taking the "Black Pearl" for a sail today as I channel Captain Jack Sparrow, still reminiscing my sailings and diving adventures.
Razor: Gillette 85 Super Adjustable "Black Beauty” (p2) 1970 named “The Black Pearl”
Brush: Jerusalem Olive Wood/WD Silvertip 24/48
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: TOBS Grapefruit cream
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1983 Porcelain Sail Boat

I set sail for two weeks on a sail dive trip, back in time, and dove in the Bermuda Triangle. Actually saw some strange bioluminescence creatures on a night dive. We had a well respected marine biologist with us, and he had no clue! Blimey!

Setting sail with the Pearl as I whipped up the TOBS in my favorite mug and off we go, bucko. The Pearl gives a nice shave, and I'm just addicted to the Gillette Adjustables. WTG XTG on my face an neck on 5 ATG on my neck on 3. After a splash of WH, and some Jack Black (a good friend of the Captain) balm. Shiver me timbers, that was a nice shave. The Admerial (my bride) and I can't wait for our next sail, so avast me matey, weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen! Yo Ho Ho!

 

Awesome photo ObiDon! Simple and classic.

 

Beautiful Gillette!

 

Thank you! Hope y'all don't mind all my reminiscing.

 

Nice effects on on your shot!

Get well soon. And to help out I dusted off the Hot Toddy recipe.
Hot Toddy

• 1 cup of tea (green, or your favorite)
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 shot of bourbon, rum, tequila ( you get the idea)
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1cinnamon sticks (optional)
• 1 pn cloves, to taste (optional)
• 1 lemon wedges (optional)
  Make the tea as you normally do, but use a large mug. Add the honey onto the bottom and stir. Then the adult beverage and lemon juice. Garnish with any combination of whole cloves, cinnamon stick, and/or lemon wedge. Sit back and enjoy. Repeat as necessary.
  

 

Thanks for the thoughts guys. That Toddy sounds great. Unfortunately to top everything off, I get to work tomorrow morning because everyone else is sick.
