    Keri unscented moisturizer
    Booster Polar Ice AS :love029: :love029: :love029: :love029:
    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. I didn't want to overdo it this morning so I took it a bit easy, DFS. I love the palmolive menthol, very cool with some good skincare properties. With Alcolado Glacial a nice chilly shave for a wet Tuesday morning.

    Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - Today's the day!
    1. Prep: Hot shower; CB Super Sensitive Lotion; hand strop blade
    2. Coffee: Locally roasted, fresh ground Tanzanian Peaberry w/ cream
    3. Lather: C.O. Bigelow + M-Bomb - bolw lather
    4. Brush: Vulfix 2234
    5. Razor: Gem HFT
    6. Blade: Pella SS PTFE coated (3); 3 passes
    7. 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.

    You and me both... I hope! My 2yr old and house guests may say differently though.

    Tuesday

    Prep: Hot shower
    CD: Lightnin' Hopkins ~ The Best of Lightnin' Hopkins
    Coffee: Home roasted, fresh ground Ethiopia Illubabor, BLACK
    Cream: KMF Unscented + 2 drops Em's Woodstock EO
    Brush: H. Stern Co. 1006 with original knot
    Razor: Stahly head on Fat Handle Tech handle (I find the huge Stahly handle just too much)
    Blade: ASR Platinum Chrome, day 2, 3+ passes
    Post: Cold water rinse, Dickenson's WH, Pinaud Clubman, hand strop blade

    Shave Rating: 5 Blades

    Another super shave. With springs in the head, the Stahly makes for an interesting shave. Can't say that I'm keen on the wind up/vibrate feature.
