Results: An evening shave for me today and the last one for several days. Early tomorrow AM, we are headed off to Yosemite National Park with extended family for the long Labor day weekend. It's sure going to be a human zoo there, but fun nonetheless and looking forward to some long overdue R&R:y. As good as this evening shave was for me, I prefer my AM shaves. I guess I am just a sucker for beginning my days with something I love doing. The Floris produced a delightful lather and the Carl Herder performed magnificently. My whiskers were no match for this dynamic duo:nj. |
