Wash with hot water
MenU bristle brush
Edwin Jagger Aloe Vera Soap plus Ingram cream
Face lather
EJ DE89
PolSilver Super iridium (5 (& 6))
Cold water rinse
Avon Essentials conditioning after shave balm

Shave 6 (Saturday) Well, well, so finally this blade comes alive, and to think I nearly binned it. Lvoely shave 2 passes and small touch up, no nicks. A 3rd pass would have made it closer but really wasn't necessary.

Shave 7 (Sunday) Great start to the day, another 2 pass & T/U shave. Close and smooth. lovely.

Ahh, the good M (I hope your vision slowly's coming back by now!? Have you been drinkin... erhh, using any good vintage AS lately, it seems the fumes has gone straight to the doom this time?

I 'graduated' to the good stuff, since last typing at you. Yep, went to visit my cousins in West Virginny (wood people to the max), and spent time test driving the product. Heh, tough to keep from weaving on the road but it's all in fun y'all. It's rare anyone actually goes blind from the stuff if you make it right.

Better than chugging Aqua Velva!! Here's a short home movie......
