Jayaruh #2 Synthetic
Gillette Super Adjustable (gift from @Dzia Dzia )
Astra SP

Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

Today's shave will be brought to by my friend, Don in South Florida. Thanks to him I finally have my Black Beauty, and it is a beauty.

The Mitchell's Wool Fat face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #2 Synthetic brush. Two passes with my Gillette Super Adjustable razor (set on 5) and a Astra SP blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. It was an excellent 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 after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Woke up this morning at the usual time, got up, got my cup of coffee, sat down on the couch, reclined it back, and decided it was too early to care today. Set my alarm for another hour, got up and took a quick shower and out the door to work. The world just had to deal with me without a shave today. Sleep sounded better. In my defense I didn't sleep well last night. Apparently I was snoring so I kept being jolted awake and told of that fact. I didn't hear anything, but SWMBO swears she did.

On a positive note this will put the Slim and Voskhod at 9 and against a two day growth in the morning. The weekend's on the way!

Irie Mon, we be jammin!

 

I slept in and didn't shave today but tomorrow I am planning to use my early tech with a Voskhod blade, my peerless nylon brush and williams with a nivia balm afterwards. Hot towel and a wash with what the girlfriend has at the sink that looks like facial soap for preshave.



We have our local crafts fair tomorrow and I was lucky enough to have the day off so I'll be up and going to that rain or shine with the kids.

 

chilled salsa?? never seen this one before. does it smell like tomatoes and jalapenos

 

I requested a custom blend with certain EO's and not a clue why Amanda came up with this name. Spicy mango, cilantro, black pepper, peppermint essential oil and menthol.

 

I love your ongoing AS line up! Top notch every day!

 

Thanks!
If you haven't tried Extro products you owe yourself a treat.

Amazing 2 pass shave, smooth and nick free as always

 

Actually it thinned out the crowd. We rolled in on a Tuesday nite after a huge rain storm. We rode a lot of rides with 10 min wait times. Nice! We spent 2 1/2 days their then headed to Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor for a Family Reunion. It was a little damp there but not as bad as Tampa. Then drove back to Destin to party for my sister in laws birthday. I love Florida, but all my doctors are in Houston, or we would move there in a blink.

A great way to start a Friday! Have a fantastic weekend!

 

Oh man, what a freeze I just had from the Glacial Wintergreen trio - it'll take all day to thaw my face out. Smoother than silk as well!

 

The scent of the wintergreen is awesome. I would definitely get a full puck if it was mentholated "normally" hahaha

 

It most certainly is mentholated normally! (For me!)
