[8th Night]

Friday morning:

Hot shower
Frank Mini Synthetic
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 12
Brutalt Bra SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Booster Lime Ice AS Splash
Amatoury 114 Lemon Cologne

This Frank mini synthetic is such a cute little brush and it performs great - if you’ll notice it has a Canadian flag on it and an Israeli one. It was sent to me by a friend of mine along with a Canadian Tech razor a couple of years ago. The Brutalt Bra is a lovely soap from Norway with a very nice lavender scent, it’s a pleasure to lather, and it gives a really comfortable, soothing postshave feeling. The Lubriderm moisturizer felt great, the Booster Lime Ice has no menthol but it still feels quite cooling, and its scent is so old school barbershoppy - do I ever love it. Finally the 114 cologne from Lebanon which smells delightfully refreshing and I’m all set for another day of relaxing retirement. Three passes left me almost as smooth as my wife and daughter - what a great shave this was!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend - be well and stay safe!

What a wonderful shave there. I love your custom brush handle, Akhi. Have a great weekend.

 

[8th Night]

Thanks so much Lantsman!

It was great to sleep in because I was so exhausted!

My wife is usually an early riser and so am I but this time I needed the extra sleep!

Shabbat Shalom!

Jeff

Shabbat Shalom!

 

[8th Night]

I’m so patriotic and proud of being Israeli!

As you should be. Israel is such a beautiful, diverse country. It is filled with wonderful people and such a rich history. I cannot wait until we can go back again.

Nothing much to photograph- I just shaved my legs with the Braun Series 7. It does a surprisingly good job, owing to the floating head.

I’m looking forward to that day as well!! That’s the hope!

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap
Jayaruh #454 Silvertip Badger
Schick Krona
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #454 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Krona razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva Ice Blue After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Last night we had full attendance at the Seder. What a blessing having our family together!

I’m so happy you had a great Seder my Lantsman!

This is a holiday where families get together and celebrate together and not only eat very well but also have so much fun - something tells me I gained a few pounds!

Jeff

 

[Yehuda D]

Thank you Akhi!
Tabac is so good!! I decided that I will 3017 it for the month of April!
I prefer abbreviating the Haggadah for the same reason!

Tabac is a treasure - it’s an absolute must have for me at all times!

Jeff

 

[Yehuda D]

What a wonderful shave there. I love your custom brush handle, Akhi. Have a great weekend.

Thanks so much Akhi!

This brush is a terrific performer!

Saturday morning:

Hot shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 13
Williams Menthol SC
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

This Williams Menthol cream is awesome - it smells so nice, it’s such a pleasure to lather, the menthol sensation is at a good middle of the road level, and it’s so skin friendly. The Gold Bond moisturizer is so cooling as well as soothing, and the Aqua Velva aftershave went on icy cold - do I ever love its old school scent. This Perma Sharp blade is nearing its final stage but it still helped me get a wonderful three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

Have a great weekend - be well and stay safe!
