Sunday

Homemade frankincense & myrrh preshave oil
Acqua di Gio brushless(!) shaving cream
Feather AS razor
Gillette Super Thin blade (Thailand) (4)
Acqua di Gio aftershave balm

I hate this shaving cream. It's like rubbing hand lotion into my face. And on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 the best, its cushion and glide are both a 1. Terrible.

Good afternoon. Sunday PM:

Jaggerooney w/Dorco 301, #4
BK 4
Vintage B;ades soap
Thayer's Lavender witch hazel
Harris Pink
RazoRock King Louis A/S Wax
TOBS Lavender Water

Woke up fighting a miserable cold. The shave was excellent but my skin felt like it needed a little extra TLC, thus the King Louis.
Best,
Chris
