The Artisan Soap Shoppe Cooling Waters Shaving Soap Cream
Veliero Sabonete
Wholly Kaw Dark Vetiver Shaving Tonic


This was an okay shave. I used tap water, because of the amount of soap used in these soap/cream things. That may have been a mistake. Anyway, the good scent, of the Dark Vetiver tonic, mixed well with the strange weather. Hot, and, humid, and, raining, this morning. In the afternoon, more rains, but, cooler temperatures. The shave allowed me, to slow down, and, relax, a little bit.

What a long day. This shave helped me, to relax. I like the Derby blades, but, something seems to be missing. The hot weather, today, made me want something cooling, on my face, this evening. The good scent of eucalyptus filled the bathroom. The menthol, in the shaving tonic, felt cooling, without burning. The unique scent, of sandalwood, layered, perfectly, over the eucalyptus. A great combination, of scents, to leave me smelling excellent. I need to go to bed, soon, so, goodnight, Happy Tuesday, and, Happy Shaving! Party on.

What a long day! I had to work outside, for several hours. This morning, it was windy, and, raining. This afternoon, it was humid, and, sticky. I need a good shower, and, shave, to unwind. In order to unwind, I chose based on good scents. I went, with the products, from Arko. The Cool scent, of the shaving cream, reminded me of Derby Normal. The aftershave balm left me feeling refreshed. I feel like this shave was a preparation, for tomorrow morning's. I look forward, to it. Happy Thursday, and, Happy Shaving!
