Thanks, very much. Sorry to ask this, but did I know you as James or Jim? Just released from rehab. My memory suffered as a result of my illness.

 

I hear you, Jeff. You should try ETHOS Rosa. OR, if you can find it, AoS Rose Shave Cream. All better bases.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Archaic Eureka Shave Soap
Tom's 3D Tuxedo Brush
TNNSER V1. SE Razor
Personna Gem Stainless PTFE
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel

The Archaic Eureka Shave Soap lathered well with Tom's 3D Tuxedo Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER V1. SE Razor and the Personna Gem Stainless PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 2
Vi John Menthol SC
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

This Vi John Menthol cream is not really one of the better ones from India - it lathers great, yes and it’s quite slick but it has kind of a weird scent that turns me off and it lacks in the skincare department. Not only that, the menthol sensation is so subdued that it can hardly be felt. The Gold Bond moisturizer felt so soothing as well as cooling, and the Aqua Velva aftershave went on icy cold. Three passes gave me a terrific BBS shave but once this cream is finished I’ll throw away the tube and forget about it.

Wishing you all a nice day - be well and stay safe!
