All my shaving gear, deodorants, moisturizers, colognes, etc are in my bathroom, which is the bigger one and wifey has to struggle with the smaller bathroom for her make-ups and other cosmetics.

Jeff

How on earth did you manage to get the bigger bathroom? Your wife is obviously not a JAP!

This week's theme is Brushless. So to kick off the week, today was Barbasol brushless (lilac-scent) with some Lustray Lilac AS as a chaser. Razor all week will be one of my long-handles ladies' Gillette DE with a Feather blade. And of course, PSO.

Patrick, you are like many members in that you like the Arko soap over the Arko creams. So do I.

Cheers,
Richard
Plano TX

A whole week Brushless

? Tell me you've bone fishing for the week. BTW, i couldn't find the PSO in the pic.

Best,

Mahesh, I had you in mind while taking that photograph, notice how the only thing is focus is the lowly hair dressing!

I picked it up today and have just used it, so the jury is still out. It is heavier and has more shine than Bryl, the North American one anyway. Either that, or I used too much (I just used a small dab!). Light hold, very conditioning, classic barbershop scent. I like it, yes, I've decided. Longevity has yet to be determined, but I have no doubt that it would last all day.

Just to add, it is made by Canadian Booster, the same company that makes JM Fraser, Booster Lanolin Hair Cream, etc.

All right, rustyblade Richard: if you use all these hair treatments, are you making do with what little remains (like me), or do you have a towering pompadour, or what? Your avatar isn't very informative! Crank up that fancy camera and show us -- from the hairline up -- what you've got to work with.

Jeff, i know all about JAPs and JITs; my university in the 80's was Boston University (or BU or "BJew"as it was sarcastically know as), and they were definitely the hottest women on campus; alas, if only i knew then what i know now about dating and human nature.

!
Most of the prepared dressings, including Brylcreem which i love, have mineral oil as the main component. I'm now experimenting with Indian hair oils containing mineral, coconut, castor and almond oils and indian herbs that supposedly are good for the hair. I will write about them in the hair forum when i have used them more extensively and when i have more time. The problem is that mineral oil is not nourishing to the hair like the other oils; olive is certainly one of the good oils. Remember, i got some Indian Brylcreem for you if you can't find any up there; just say the word, though it'll have to wait for 2 weeks as i have 2 hellish weeks coming up, with a possible root canal. Alright, too much info.

Ok, I'll take a full head shot, just because you asked:

Awwwwwww yeeeah, Canadian mullet!

Tuesday shave:
- Merkur HD w/Feather blade
- J.M. Fraser's whale-tallow mullet-shaping paste and shaving cream
- A few dabs of G.F. Trumper Limes Skin Food

Since my face doesn't seem as tender lately, I have been skipping the Skin Food. Today after I shaved and rinsed I tried dabbing on Skin Food on just a few irritated spots (instead of covering my whole face), but it wasn't as useful as I had hoped. I guess it's all or nothing.
