Been a while
It was October since my last post, here and how I have missed the forum - not yet in to the whole forum community thing, not sure why as most of you are spiffing (what a word to use).
I've been job searching since my last post, had 2 great offers - one was better money wise than the other, but I really don't fancy working in Saudi. So Qatar it is then.
While I'm in-between jobs I'm back home and ready with cash (and the wife hasn't told me I cannot) I'll be stocking up on stuff I can't get in the middle east - like witch hazel and shaving creams not made by Gilette.
My shaves are continuing to improve, but I still get a face ripping now and again. I think it's my razor angle more than anything else, with perhaps a hint of pressure.
Christmas (a while back) was interesting as I got myself a few creams and aftershaves, Alt Innsbruck is my favourite at the moment. I also saw Mark's YouTube video with the package TSR sent, shame I missed it, but what a great idea.
He also got himself an iKon razor which has got me thinking, what are the benefits of a comb razor? Will it help me with my angle and pressure problem?
Had my first shave in UK with my stuff, must say it was rather good, I'll see if I can repeat the performance in the morning.
I have also been experimenting with a moisturiser. I take vasaline for men (moisturiser not petroleum jelly), add aloe Vera, she a butter, glysolid, vitamin E, and a drop or two of tea tree oil. It works well as an aftershave balm.
I suppose this is a general rambling than an actual post.
That's all, hope y'all well.
