Shave of the Day: Thursday Evening, 2 November 2017

Proraso Pre-Shave Cream
Merkur 38C Safety Razor
Artisan Made Shaving Bowl, for Building Lather
US Custom Made Badger Hair Shaving Brush
Palmolive Classic Menthol Shaving Cream
Fine Green Vetiver Shaving Tonic/Aftershave
Suave Advanced Therapy Skin Lotion

This was a nice shave. Two passes left me nice, and, smooth. I went against the grain, on the first pass, and, then, across the grain, towards the nose, on the second. It was great. I enjoyed the familiar scent of the Green Vetiver. It used to be called Clean Vetiver. It is one of his oldest, and, I think, best fragrances. These aftershaves are top-notch. Today, it was weird weather. We had cool temperatures, this morning, followed by a lot of sunshine, and, hot temperatures, in the afternoon. My face needed a good shave, in order to recover. Happy Thursday, and, Happy Shaving!

Omega Puro Tasso Badger Hair Shaving Brush
Derby Lavender Shaving Cream

What a long day. I skipped shaving, this morning, because I had some irritation, on my neck, from the washcloth I used. Maybe, I am allergic to some fabric softener, which was left, in the machine. Also, today, I was assaulted, and, had to file a police report. The cop refused to give me a report number, he said someone would be contacting me. We shall wait, and, see. Anyway, this was a great shave, and, I needed it. Two passes left me feeling nice, and, smooth. The brush did a good job exfoliating my face. Happy Friday, Happy Weekend, and, Happy Shaving!

Were you able to defend yourself? I hope your assailant has some black eyes and a broken nose . . . I'm glad you are OK and were able to enjoy your shave. I hope they catch the person who attacked you! :(
