MUSIC: In The Wee Small Hours - Frank Sinatra (vinyl)

Hot Shower
SCS Sandalwood Bath Bar
MB’s Rosemary/Mint Shampoo

4” Coors Mortar
TGQ Lime Margarita SS (sample)
Vulfix #2233 in super
Gillette 1921 Triple Silver Plated Bostonian w/Feather (day 3)

QED Da Vinci Water
Old Spice AS
Geo. F. Trumper's Wild Fern Cologne (sample from Essential Shaves)

Pinaud Eau de Quinine Hair Tonic

BBS. This is still the best razor/blade combo that I have found, and the razor is perfectly balanced. It is a joy to use.

Have an outstanding day

Wednesday

Merkur HD razor
Derby Extra blade (day three)
Vulfix 2197 brush
Mama Bear Earl Grey Tea cream
Nivea Sensitive Skin A/S Balm

Nice shave today, nothing great. The Mama Bear cream burned like crazy -- sort of like using alcohol-based A/S after a face-full of razor burn. I suspect my skin doesn't like something in the cream. :( I'll try it again on the weekend and see how that goes. No blood, though! \:D/

Kenton, You're here?! In Tampa? Charming place, ain't it? Enjoying the weather? It'll be just like this until at least some time in mid-October...sigh.
