Summary: It's been a hectic week around the house so I was looking forward for my SOTD. It's the only time I can actually enjoy total zen and silence around me. Picked my Palmera 14 for today's occasion and grabbed the refreshing Irisch Moos from my cabinet. All the stars were aligned as I had an exceptional BBS shave. I ended the shave with a pitcher of frozen Margaritas. |
Time sure flies. Can't believe we're moving towards July. Gents, enjoy the new week and happy fathers day! |

Results: A Wacker-licious shave today. To be exact, a Maxterized Wacker , dressed in beautiful G10 Ivory and red Jasper recon stone wedge:tu. The Simpson whipped up a nice thick über out of the Floris...I love the scent of this soap/creme (apparently it was a favorite of Ian Fleming). Working this wonderful concoction into the whiskers was so delightful that even if that's all I did for this shave, I would be content http://www.foroafeitado.com/foro/ima...s/thumbsup.gif. But after ~3 minutes of messaging, I was ready for the Wacker. In 2 nice long passes, my face was just as smooth as yesterday :y. |
