Musgo Real (Moose-go Hay-awl) has got to be some of the freshest smelling shaving cream I have tried. Love it!

I love the "Glyce" pre-shave soap, and the regular bath soap smells good and lasts a long time.

Is that how you pronounce it? I pronounce ii like it's spelt. It might be good that it doesn't come up in conversations lot. Talking about pronunciation, who would have thought that quinoa is pronounced as it is. I pronounce that as it's spelt too.

Saturday

Razor | Mühle R 89 | Cream | Faulding ‘Shave’| After Shave | Tabac

A sort of an old fashioned feel to the shave this morning with the Faulding ‘Shave’ cream and the Tabac after shave. Three passes to absolute perfection. I NEVER do three passes but today I did! Absolutely GDS (Guard Duty Smooth).

I downed a coffee (freshly ground beans ground in an antique Spong grinder) and washed down three fish oil capsules, 1 Glucosamine and two ibuprofen tablets and now I’m ready for indoor bouldering (I think). Might go for a walk to the forest first to limber up a little.

Hope you all have an astonishing weekend.

Yeah, pretty sure that would be the right pronunciation. Of course, I am using what I think would sound right in American english. I speak a little Portuguese. Man, I miss Brazil. But I did not get quinoa correct. My sister keeps on correcting me.

Yeah, that would be Portuguese. R's are like an H, kinda. Whereas, ç is like an s, but with a hint of a z to it. But sometimes an R can have a weird dth sound to it. I hope this isn't taken wrong, but many words are pronounced like you are a stroke victim, kinda a slur of the sounds. I was raised around it, too bad I didn't learn it! Like the country, and liquor, Curaçao, it's pronounced KEWR-ə-sow.

'ão' sound is weird. it is like you are pushing it through your nasal while closing off the passages. I really learned Brazilian Portuguese and learned the more twangy version of it. I was in the mountains of Santa Catarina so it was sort of like the West Virginia of Brazil. Lot's of Germans and Italians. They drank a lot of chimarrão and wine. Mas que babaridade! Vamos cai na gandaia!

My sister is going to Portugal shortly, and she asked what I'd like her to bring back for me. I said Musgo Real (you probably need to say it an an Australian accent). I may need to contact her re. the pronunciation just so the local don't fall around laughing too much....

kinda been slacking off on the shaves the last few days .. think i was on 3-4 days growth , been busy around the house with warm weather chores and sneaking in some night fishing for catfish !! the big cats are still sluggish but it didnt keep the little ones off the line !! All that was topped off by a wonderful shave tonight with a little shave partner though !!!
pre= shower
soap= Mikes Lemongrass Eucalyptus
brush= black badger / Batman synthetic
razor(s)
1) Torrey wedge
2) Gilletter Contract Tech
3) Red-Imp 132 wedge
4) Batman Super Safe Safety Razor
results= i had planned on using both straights but the Torrey has impressed me ever since it came off the hones and it didnt let me down this time !! started with it and couldnt stop so perhaps the Imp will get its turn next time !! i finished with a ATG pass with the Tech ..

The Batman razor must be a good shaver also cause my partner ended up with BBS after one pass WTG ... maybe next time ill use that one

Pre : Hot water, Proraso pre-post cream
Soap : Arko stick
Brush : Turkish "No.6"
Razor : Gillette Superspeed flare tip
Blade : Personna
Post : Nivea moisturising balm

Finish : BBS

Comments :
The Arko stick has redeemed itself. There were no problems with lather this time. It just needs grating into a bowl, as I'm finding stick soaps much more awkward to lather up.
