Todah Rabah, Akhi!

 

[8th Night]

Thursday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 4
D’lya Bri’tya Rosa SS sample (from Russia)
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac Deodorant Spray
Tabac AS Splash

Quite a while ago when I was in Russia on a business trip with my wife a very good friend of mine who lives in the city of Khabarovsk which is in the Russian Far East invited us to stay with him and his wife for a week and they treated us like a king and a queen. He and his wife showered us with so many gifts - for me he filled up a box with so many fantastic Russian shaving creams as well as a big sample of this soap. In Russian d’lya br’itya means “for shaving” and it’s made by a lovely woman who has a cosmetics company and she also produces shaving soaps and aftershaves for men. This particular soap has a very nice rosy scent, it gives FANTASTIC lather that’s so thick, rich, creamy and protective, it’s really slick, and it’s so gentle on sensitive skin. The Lubriderm moisturizer felt so soothing, and I couldn’t resist the Tabac aftershave. Three passes did me proud - another cracking good BBS shave that I enjoyed so much. A special thanks to my dear friends Dmitry and Ludmila for their wonderful hospitality and generosity. Hopefully soon they’ll be visiting us!

Wishing you all a nice day - be well and stay safe!

An awesome shave made even better by the gift from a friend. And you enjoyed it thoroughly. WTG Akhi! Have. Great rest of your day.

Second go with this little Keen Kutter… much smoother with a fresh Proline B20. Very happy with almost-BBS results after two passes & touchups!

​

Cheers!

I decided to break out the Athos, despite the weather being a bit chilly. I was saddened to see my aftershave splash was almost completely depleted. Worse yet; my backup bottle was ALSO depleted (actually empty).

Todah rabah Akhi!

My friend gave me so many great Russian creams as well as this big soap sample as well as a few nice aftershave balms and splashes - not to mention the nice perfume he gave my wife!

Have a great day too!

### Notes
Used the Henson AL-13++ for some manscaping on my abdomen so my diabetic infusion sets stick to my skin and not just my hair, which then fall off. The Henson is great for body shaving.

1 days growth on the face handled with the Yates Merica and a KAI blade(2). Nice shave.

The PAA Green Ray is such a soft brush, yet does a phenomenal job whipping up the perfect lather.
