Why should we not meet, not always as dyspeptics, to tell our bad dreams, but sometimes as eupeptics, to congratulate each other on the ever-glorious morning? - Henry David Thoreau
“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”

2 1/2 passes= DFS+ results. One tiny nick but otherwise totally close and comfortable. Have returned to the Clinique PSH after 4-5 weeks experimenting
with the Simpson ASB, with quite mediocre results. Nine times out of ten, I really don't need a powerful post shave treatment product... my shaves are
generally free of major irritation or other problems. But the Clinique manages to make a good thing even better and, while not billed as a moisturizer,
it does provide some smoothing, soothing hydration, particularly comforting this time of the year.
