A few new things today. This was my first time ever.....using an Arko Shaving Cream. It was a great performer, even though the Cool Mint was more of an aspiration than an actuality! The Re Gen Oil is an intensive skin care product, containing lots of goodies. A few drops absorbed and dried quickly to leave a great finish. An excellent two pass with touch up shave. Its off to work now as I am on nights

Shower&Shave
Hot shower is the best way to start the day.

The Futur of Shaving Rolls On:

I am just loving this razor. I like a small handle and it has a large one. I like a small shaving head and it has a large one. Could I have been wrong all this time?

Today, once again, the Futur turned out a beautiful shave. I hope my bandmates appreciate it at tonite's rehearsal-lol.

So here is what I used:

eBarbershop Preshave
eBarbershop Citrus Soap
Vulfix 404 Mixed
Merkur Futur-set at 2
Gillette Black Ninja (6 and still going)
Humphreys Witch Hazel

Smooth and smelling nice for work.

Selbstverständlich freue ich mich - eine gute Rasur bringt mich immer in einer guten Laune. z B, heute war meine Rasur mit der Vostok Creme. Das war so entzückend, und ich genoß jede Minute davon!

 

I'm using hotel internet and it kept hanging up last night and this morning. I clicked and nothing happened, so I clicked again.
Lucky for all of us I was out of time and uplugged the laptop after that, who knows how many times that would have showed up.
All in all, it was a pretty good shave, think I'll use the same setup tomorrow.

 

Oh I almost forgot, I did find a good cup of coffee this morning. See what a good shave will do for you.

 

Thanks for the kind thoughts, I am better now.

 

What part of the country are you working in now?

 

Good morning!

My Friday shave, yet again making use of the offsite Den:

Mama Bear’s ‘Ye Olde Barbershoppe’ shave soap
Mühle Travel shave brush in Nickel with Silver Tip Fibre
’60 British Gillette Flare Tip Rocket
Astra Superior Platinum (2.)
Speick Men after shave

First time I was using this shave soap. I love the smell, like the lather, not sure what my skin thinks as a burning sensation started to make itself known after the second lather-up for pass #2. Cannot say for sure it’s the soap’s fault as this sometimes happens with other soaps when I am shaving in warm conditions, so warm that my face starts sweating slightly, which was the case this morning. Therefore I will give this soap a few more tries in different environments such as the bathroom at home. It would be a shame if my skin were not in agreement with this soap as I really like the smell and so does SHMBO.
