Tuesday:

Nivea Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Lord Super/7 AM day 2
GZD Shaving Stick
Lubriderm Unscented Moisturizer
Booster Iced Lime AS

I finally got to try another Turkish-made stick and let me tell you that it's fantastic. The GZD stick smells EXACTLY like the Arko one and it gives the same kind of rich, easy-to-create lather with pretty good skincare. My Lord Super knocked off my tough stubble so easily with the help of the 7 AM and the Booster Iced Lime aftershave was a heck of a nice finish. Tomorrow I'll go with some extreme mentholated stuff, and on Thursday I'll try the new Blueness stick I received which is also from Turkey.

SOTD: 16/xii/2014

It keeps shaving, & shaving, & shaving!

Mongoose B1 (86)
Dub Legend B1 (36)
Feather Professional (25)
GroCo Brazuca Synth
B&M - Vetyver Santal vegan (12)
Country Club - Frozen Vetiver


Last night before dinner my son (he's 5 btw) points to his upper lip and asks me what I have on mine. Since I had just come home from work I was concerned that I might have had something embarrassing going on up there so I went to the mirror. Nothing was there. So I called him in and asked if it was still there and he said yes. I then realized that he was talking about my stubble. Apparently he is so used to me being clean shaven that even a second day growth is unappealing. I told him that I didn't shave that morning and that it was my stubble. He quickly suggested that I shave this morning and I decided to follow his sage advice.

Even on 2-days of growth this made performed flawlessly on its 25th use. 2 passes and minor touch-up for a BBS that is kiddo approved.

I'm loving the smell of the Frozen Vetiver aftershave from Country Club for Men. I may skip my cologne application until lunch time so I can keep enjoying this scent on me. Not only does it smell great but my face is feeling wonderful as well. I believe the allantoin added with glycerin helps take the skincare of this splash up a notch compared to many others.

Shave On & God Bless!!!
