Similar to Saturday's shave I washed my face before have with Kiehl's centella Skin-Claming Facial Cleanser (its for dry and sensitive skin, mine is dry). Seemed to do a good job and the shave felt really nice. Result with a very quick 3 pass shave, DFS and my skin feels great. I may have to buy a proper supply of the facial cleanser.

Saturday Evening

Feather Portable on Parker handle + Thai
Fido Finest
Kiss My Face Key Lime cream
Old Spice White Water AS


Loving Fido's brush: lathers up a storm and not a single hair lost.

KMF -- superbly slick, though lacking the zing of Vulfix Sicillian Lime.

OS White Water -- very nice for the price.

Number 7 out of the Plat and no signs of stopping yet, I will continue with this blade until it starts to feel that its dulling, how long thou?, and it delivered a quality DFS with the EJ, Nice.

Sunday Afternoon:

  • - Gillette Minora post WWII/Late 40's, British-made, red-Bakelite
    - Gillette Minora Platinum blade
        • (woo-hoo - a dream come true*)[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
          - Le Tuft Cobalt Blue superBadger
          - Nanny's Lavender 'NEW Formulation' soft soap
          - Lavender Thayers' Witch Hazel

          NOTE: * OK, maybe it isn't a huge, opulent, grandiose sort of a dream, nor necessarily is it my only dream (though better than most sadly - night terrors *shudders* meh), but it was my dream to have a shave with a Minora razorblade in my Minora razor.
          • ... and it was a good and worthwhile dream due to the grand shave I had with it.
              • I can even have this dream come true again, and again!
                    • ... so there - nyah![/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
