Week of January 2 SOTD - Sunday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower |
Razor: 7/8" Henckels Friodur #17 Stainless Steel INOX, Full Hollow, Spike Point |
Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip |
Überlather: Floris "JF" Shave Creme + Floris "JF" Shave Soap + Glycerin |
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) |
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer |
Cologne: Alt Innsbruck EdC |
Results: It had been awhile since I had used this wonderful blade. A few minutes on the Escher last night and she was ready to perform. And perform, she did. With the cushion provided by the Floris SS/SC combo, this blade had a field day with the second set of stubble in 2011. Touch down...BBS all over :y. And to seal the deal, a little Alt Innsbruck/Trumper mix was used to finish this beautiful shave. |

I know, I know. I am still in Christmas mode ;) (as evident from my picture). Decorations are still up and won't come down until after the 6th, which is when we Armenians celebrate Christmas. Historically, all Christian churches celebrated Christ's birth on January 6th until the fourth century. The date was changed from January 6th to December 25th in order to override a pagan feast dedicated to the birth of the Sun which was celebrated on December 25th.
Have a FABULOUS Sunday guys:tu.
