Sun October 28th - Sat November 03rd
Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
Razor: The Baltic Cutlery Co.
Brush: Simpson PJ3
Cream: GFT Sandalwood
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
AS: Mundus Citrus & Sandalwood
EDC: Mundus Citrus & Sandalwood
Nothing to really complain about. A truly zen shave with lots of nourishing products. Both the Mundus AS and Cologne have lots of goodies for the skin. The Cologne is actually more a nourishing skin booster as opposed to a fragrance cologne as we all know it. It's got JoJoba, sweet almond and a blend of other essential oils. The AS is made from witch hazel, aloe vera, glycerin, calendula, willow bark extract and a blend of other essential oils. If all this doesn't make you look 10 years younger in the long run, then I'm lost for words.
Gents, the last week of October! Let's rock. Wishing y'all a great one.

No shave today, but what a great start tot he week!

Razor – Thiers Issard 69 frameback, w/ spare blade
Brush – Chubby#2
Soap – MWF with glycerin pre-soak
AST – ALUM & Thayers witch hazel lemon
AS – GFt Limes & GFT skinfood limes
Both blades were honed at the same time on this rig. The spare blade fits in a side pocket inside the box. I had to re-hone without tape to get the shave I like. She rocks now. Have a great week gents.
