Monday Night Shave

Prep: Hot towel
Razor: Wacker again
Shave Cream: bigelow
Face Lather
Music: trace adkins mix
AS: Gillette AS gel

Big meeting tomorrow so gotta get the sparse patchiness cleared out and try to look presentable

side note: first time using bigelow shave cream and whoa! the eucalyptus mentholating effect is cooling as you shave. the lather created with only about 3/8 - 1/2 inch cream on the brush was phenonmenal - can you tell? I really really liked it.
