What a great way to start this holiday week! The Toyo was smooth and sharp. I was BBS on all but the most challenging places after a single pass. Just did a few touch ups and left it with that. My face feels great, and I smell wonderful too. Everything is starting out on the right foot here!

I'm not really a Christmas fan so don't expect many Christmas theme shots from me. What you see above is probably about as Christmassy as I'll get - at least it has some Christmas colour

Sunday:

No shave, day of face rest. Bought my mother a toaster for Christmas because she could use a new one.


Monday morning:

Turkish horse hair brush Nr. 6
Arko stick whipped up in a bowl
Meijer/Personna single blade disposable, 1st pass
Super Adjustable, P-1, set at 3, 2nd pass & touch-up
Shark Super Stainless blade
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2008 formula

As good as Arko stick is for setting up a beard for shaving, the Personna disposable just wasn't getting it without more pressure than I'd like. Finished the job with the Shark for a CCS, almost DFS, just enough to get through the day.


Monday evening:

Turkish horse hair brush Nr. 6
Body Shop Shave Cream, <2008 formula, laced w. KMF unscented and whipped up in a bowl
Super Adjustable, O-2, set at 4, 3 for final pass and touch-up
Treet Durasharp carbon, 1st shave
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2008 formula

Last week's Treet Durasharp lasted just two shaves, where I usually get three. This blade is from a new pack and shaved promisingly tonight.
