Florena got taken over by Nivea's producer, Beiersdorf AG, and it's a pity, because this cream kicks Nivea's butt--the scent is much nicer, and the skincare is so good. I also find I get better lather from Florena. The Derby Extras are fairly aggressive, but with caution, they work very well.

Aftershave: Floid Italian Style Aftershave 4
Moisturizer: Thayer's Witch Hazel Moisturizing Lotion 3

Result: 4.4/5.0 A pleasant shave. Of all the Honeybee Spa soaps I have, this one smells the best. The soap performs about average for a glycerin melt and pour soap. The Italian Floid was a nice finish to the shave. I went lightly just under my chin. There is a tiny bump or blemish there I didn't want to cut.

SOS - Jan -> Feb

Wow, lots of new faces here, how exciting Welcome every-buddy

Here's what my past few weeks have looked like:

1) Chicago - Portland (plane)
2) Portland - Seattle (train)
3) Seattle - Vancouver (bus)
4) Vancouver - Vancouver Island (boat, but first a bus [not same bus from seattle] from vancouver station to place where ferry leaves from)
5) same as # 4, but in reverse
5) same as #3, but in reverse
6) Seattle - Chicago (plane).....but was supposed to be a train, which because of mudslides across the tracks in washington, the track was closed, so no train. Then it was supposed to be bus from Seattle to Spokane, and train from Spokane to Chicago......but due to heavy snowing across washington the highway was shut down, and thus by bus from Seattle to Spokane never left. So in the end I ended up flying back.

That looks like a mess, but 90% of that was (mostly) planned. Had to be in all those cities for various things. I am being told that If I had pared back spending on shaving accoutrement over the past two years, I could have had a private jet :happy102

Here's what the shaves looked like. I started the journey with a lot more stuff, but between US and Canadian customs my travel-stash dwindled and some stuff was picked up "on the road." Somehow, I kept the razor but probably because they wouldn't know what to do with it
