    Good afternoon.

    Shavette Shave #465
    Dovo
    Personna Hairshaper Blade (12)
    JR #290 Cashmere Brush
    Chiseled Face Cryogen SS and AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Beard Growth: 23.5 hrs

    It's another warm day on Long Island. So I am glad that I have the Cryogen soap for this shave.

    Did a 3 pass error-free shave that gave me a BBS result. There wasn't any feedback from the alum block. Hit my face with the matching aftershave and I feel refreshed. Have a great day.

(Spanish Version.) / Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

    Greetings,

    Early morning face & head shave,

    The Proraso Blue shaving cream created a nice creamy slick protective lather with only a small amount in a short space of time The residual slickness is excellent leaving a superb post-shave from the addition of the Aloe Vera and vitamin E making my mature skin feel soft & moisturized after the shave.

    A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

    My face & precious swede are both feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine. ;)

    Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

    Up early today, then again when do I ever sleep late? Never! Quick shower and a fabulous face lathered three pass shave before heading off to do some laundry. Yes, a must for a 17 day trip.

    We have a busy day ahead traveling to the city of Valletta and the. To the south-eastern side of the island to the Blue Grotto. Later this evening we will be having dinner with another of Joann’s family friends.

    Below is a picture of Anthony snorkeling yesterday in the Blue Lagoon.

    Thank you Chris. Eclectic is my middle name. ..It's good to revisit shaving creams that you haven't gave much attention for a while. You can appreciate them more.

    Wonderful shave Barry. Proraso is one of the best shave products in my opinion. Have a great afternoon.
