A beautiful morning even if a little too sunny.
It seemed perfect for a pure lavender!

It takes very little cream to create a sybaritic lather and I enjoyed it.

Surprising the blade that I had not used for at least half a luster: a bit rough, but impeccable. But it did cause me a few red dots: we'll see what happens with another razor...

Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/new Minora
Bundubeard Cool As A Cucumber X 3 SS
Prep ASB
Krampert’s Frostbite AS Splash
Drakkar Noir EdT

Let’s see how long this brand new Minora will last for me - I’m hopeful that I could get at least two weeks of solid performance from it, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed. This hyper mentholated version of Cool As A Cucumber is so intense - the scent is even different from the original version although it’s very nice - it’s got lots of peppermint oil in it which sort of covers up the cucumber scent, the lather is so thick, rich as well as slick, and the menthol sensation is so cold that it’s almost painful, (in a good way!) and the skincare is fantastic. The Prep and the Krampert’s Frostbite aftershave were just what I needed to finish off. Not even a professional barber could have given me a better shave!

Stay healthy and safe!

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
3D Printed Brush
Purple Wabbit
Personna injector
CWR
Pinaud Clubman Vegetal

This was my third and final shave with the Purple Wabbit. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Purple Wabbit razor with a Personna injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Have a great day!​

 

This may be the first day in 2 years or so I did not shave. Sewer backup. No____, shower nor shave today. Hell I had to pee in the backyard. We were told any water down likely to come back up.
They laid new hydro lines across the front of my house 2 weeks ago, exactly where the break is. HMMM. At least it looks like the city is paying for the repairs. Cleanup will be minimal as it came up the shower drain.
