Pardon my absent lately, work demands a lot of me these days, when I finally get home I'm so tired I just want to go to sleep immediately, but try to get a little time with the wife and kids, really looking forward to almost two weeks off, just one more week to go :)

Last shave was saturday so I literally had a beard to shave today, touched up the BB on the Thuri, a looong hot shower and lathered up some Tabac.
The BB effortlessly wiped off the beard and resulted in a wonderful two pass DFS++

Schick Krona
7 o'clock yellow, 1st shave
Target witch hazel
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2009 formula

What was left of the Arko stick didn't provide enough contact area to effectively load the brush. On top of vintage Williams, however,
they added a refreshing fragrance to a soap puck that had lost its scent. Great lather too.

Another incredible shave. This razor is such a dream, and the MWF/GFT lather was as rich and luxurious as they come. To really make the über that much more übery, the lime scent was giving me a fresh clean feeling that worked so well!


We all survived another work week! Enjoy the weekend, gentlemen, you deserve the break!​
