Next week I'll be enjoying 35C / 95F though. Aaaahhhh..... I can't wait!

Yikes! And I thought we were having a hard time here in the UK... up north it was -22C last night and said to be about that at night over the weekend!

We're not used to these freak weather conditions here. Usually it just rains forever.

Prep>>Hot Shower + Proraso Pre shave cream. I had a two day growth of stubble in preparation for this shave. I have thick facial hair specially underneath the jawbone and neck.

Relathered again and shaved my cheeks X. the grain.
