Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Excellent lather from the soap. Creamy and slick with a scent I just love.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was just ok. Smooth and comfortable for 3passes and again except atg on the chin and lips area. Did not push it and as a result, was between dfs/ccs/sas without any nicks weepers nor irritation. WFH so don't require a perfect result. The main thing is no blood and irritation. Excellent post & aftershaves. Rating 9/10

I decided to give the Gold Dollar a quick touch up on the 0.3 micron film, 15 total laps, and boy that made a difference. I'm better figuring out how to contort my face in to providing larger, flatter, more taut areas of skin to shave. Working on left hand shaving is more difficult than I thought, but that is just another skill to work on. DFS today, with a slight touch up on the crest of my chin with the Twig.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave today! First use of the Los Jabones De Joserrasoap and it was phenomenal. Incredible slick lather and the scent was wonderful. More "green" than I was expecting. Finished with a splash of Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel (with added skin food) and a spray of Czech & Speake No.88 EdC. Great finish to the work week

Hope you're having a wonderful day!
