Shower or Shave May 7 - 13

Thanks guys. No photo = no shave. I also hope my D70 won’t let me down. I got one these temperamental, defective ones. Perhaps would it be time to update.

 

You're talking about a camera right?

 

Absolutely, Sir!

 

OK, just checking, I knew it was a camera but, I just wanted to make sure you weren't talking about upgrading your significant other. :signs136

Saturday AM

Spent all day in the sun, so I decided to have a cold shave this morning.

Hot shower
Proraso Pre-Post at end of shower
SMF 1 brush
Merkur HD w/ Sputnik blade (Day 1)
Tryphon Mentolo soap :drool :drool :drool
Warm water rinse
Cold water rinse
Stephan's Alpine Menthol Skin Toner
Cold water rinse
Mama Bear's Peppermint Summer A/S Milk w/ Menthol
T&H 1805 cologne

WOW on the menthol content on Giovanni's latest soap -- Mentolo. If you like menthol at all.. GET THIS.

People who buy the Mentolo buy it for a single reason. MENTHOL. And Tryphon's Mentolo delivers like gang busters.

 

Jason, me too, I spent quite a bit of time in the sun. My wife says my tan looks ridiculously dark! Talking about menthol, I bought a Colombian made cream called DENU. It lathers great, and it gives a cooling effect which is twice as strong as Proraso.

 

Link to online web store where I can purchase, please.

 

Jason, unfortunately I don't have such a link. There's a cosmetics store here in Montreal where I found it. I'll ask the owner to get me a few more, and I'll send you one, ok?
