Shave of the Day: Thursday Night, 21 September 2017!

I have no ideas, as to why I added the exclamation point, to the sentence, I just did.

Proraso Pre-Shave Cream (Always.)
Mehaz Safety Razor
Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless Razor Blade
Semogue Excelsior Texugo Badger Hair Shaving Brush
Derby Menthol Shaving Cream
Fine Accoutrements Santal Absolut Shaving Tonic

Well, I was looking forward, to this shave, I, really, was. Well, I think my angle must have been off, or, something. There is still stubble, on my face. More so, on the left-hand side, than the right. Oh well, I can try again, tomorrow morning. I omitted posting this morning's shave, as the morning shaves are nearly identical, from day, to day. The cream smelt nice, at least. I used the Santal Absolut, again. The good scent of sandalwood filled the bathroom. It was a relaxing shave, even if it was a non-shave, for the second pass. Oh, well. The journey continues. Happy Thursday Night, and, Happy Shaving!


ETA: I made myself do a third pass, with Derby Menthol Shaving Foam, instead of building more lather. It worked. I am smooth. It was an angle issue.

Shave of the Day: Saturday Evening/Night, 23 September 2017

Proraso Pre-Shave Cream
Timor 1322 Safety Razor
Rapira Supersteel Razor Blade
Derby Lavender Shaving Foam
Fine Accoutrements Lavender Pour Homme Shaving Tonic Aftershave

This shave took all my emotional effort to stay calm, and, resist giving into anger. Righteous anger, too. Yesterday, I went to get a haircut. It is horrible. I asked for a trim, to look professional, for a job interview. She made me look like a ghetto street-thug. It is, totally, inappropriate for church, the office, etc. I have no idea what I am going to do. Do you think I could sue?

Sorry to hear about the bad haircut and I can understand your frustration.

I would assume it to be more a case of incompetence than malicious intent on the part of a person who doesn't make much money. So, no, I wouldn't recommend a lawsuit.
