Saturday morning: (yuck!)

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 3
PAA Cold Spices SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
PAA Cold Spices AS Splash

The reason I said “yuck” is because I DETEST this Cold Spices soap and aftershave. Yes, the soap lathers well and it’s very slick but the menthol really screws up the beautiful Shulton Old Spice scent, and it’s not that skin friendly despite the slickness. Thank goodness it’s almost finished. The Lubriderm moisturizer gave me plenty of much needed soothing because my face felt sort of dry and a bit irritated. Last but not least the Cold Spices aftershave which I made me curse like an angry truck driver. Three passes gave me a great BBS shave but did I enjoy it? NO. Another couple of times and this stuff will be finished.

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

Thanks so much my dear Lantsman!

I predict that this farkakteh soap will be finished in two shaves. The aftershave will last a bit longer but it too will soon die out!

Soon I’ll do the Havdalah berakhot!

Shavuah Tov!
