Nothing scary about this DFS.
I have enjoyed an evening shave made of these fine ingredients:
- Figaro soap (the severe almond kick in a bowl), drugstore badger (dm);
- Merkur HD w/ Ladas blade;
- Pitralon-AS (German version).
After that we had some neighborhood kids coming to trick and treat in German (we live in Germany).
My wife, American as they come, answered the door and told them in English "well you've gotta sing to get some candy."
After a short moment of thinking they started to sing the St. Martin's song, traditionally done some weeks later here for the same reason (collect candy). I hollered from the back to her "it counts!" -- and away went my chocolate

Overall, nice shave, but I caught my chin on the way down. Ouch! Then, on the second pass, caught it in the same spot again! OuchOuch! So, to soothe the spirit, I added lavender upon lavender upon lavender. This Lavender cream may be for "mani"--hands--but it is rich enough for the face. The SO walked by and unwittingly betrayed her (primal) approval of the scents.
