Mein Freund, es freut mich sehr dass Du das Facial Wash magst - obwohl die Mentholwirkung nicht stark ist, ist es noch erkennbar.

I was telling Thorsten that I'm very happy that he likes the Axe facial wash. I also said to him that although the menthol effect is not strong, it's still noticeable.

A great way to finish out a week of face-lathering for "novelty week". This has got to be one of my favorite setups! On another note, I just looked at the upcoming "theme weeks" and turns out I will be in Ukraine for ministry during "cold water" week...Providence?

Have a great Sunday afternoon...Especially to all the Father's!

Frank Shaving Finest Badger Brush​

Parker 94R Hefty Razor​

Shark Super Chrome SS Blade​

CWR​

Dickinsons Witch Hazel​

Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS​

This is the second shave with this razor, and it is still what I would call an aggressive razor. I will either retire it or pass it on. I love the handle, so I will probably keep it just for the handle which will go with any of my Gillette News.​

Note: this was Sunday's shave. Just posted a day late.
