Tuesday: Omega Wooden Handle Super Speed/Rapira day 2 Speick SC Keri unscented moisturizer Booster Polar Ice AS JHL Cologne Me like da Speick so mucho - this cream has ingredients in it which work wonders on sensitive skin. I enjoyed a very nice, smooth and comfortable shave this morning, and the Polar Ice aftershave gave me that great barbershop scent which doesn't fight with my JHL cologne. :biggrin:
Tuesday 22 November The cut has fully healed so I am back Hot shower Starbuck Italian Roast Black Palmolive Menthol SC Berkley 46, face lather Alcolado Glacial and Proraso ASB A very nice two pass shave today.

Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - Today's the day! Prep: Hot shower; CB Super Sensitive Lotion; hand strop blade Coffee: Locally roasted, fresh ground Tanzanian Peaberry w/ cream Lather: C.O. Bigelow + M-Bomb - bolw lather Brush: Vulfix 2234 Razor: Gem HFT Blade: Pella SS PTFE coated (3); 3 passes Post: Warm water rinse; cold water splash; California Baby super sensitive face lotion I may have to get the Speick out tomorrow as it is great, but I'm trying to finish off what's left of my Bigelow cream. I just keep being able to squeeze more and more out of that tube. I guess I didn't get enough frost goodness on Menthol Monday so I added about 6 drops of M-Bomb to my lather bowl and mixed it nicely into the Bigelow with the 2234. Mounds of frosty lather had me singing Frosty the Snowman this morning and I now have the Christmas music playing at work. Anyone doing a 2am shave Friday mornign before getting out in the Black Friday nonsense? Shave Rating - Splendid. God Bless!
The only thing that will be black on Friday is the darkness because my eyes will be closed. I will be sound asleep.
