Monday:

My first pass with #17 was fine, but the lather disappeared in my brush! Nothing a little dab of JM Frasers couldn't take care of! Why do I bother with other creams when Frasers is all I need? Oh, right...because I can!

I have returned!!! After a 3 day trip to Jersey and the hardest water I have ever come across, I am happy to be back to normal SOTD's with normal results. My travel kit for the trip consisted of my Schick Injector and some Aloe & Lanolin (green can) Noxzema foam. Used it once. HORRIBLE! But, I'm not blaming the equipment. I'm pretty sure the culprit was the hard water. Today was much better. I had about 3 days worth of growth on my face and the brand new Swede hacked through it with no problems. Got a nice cooling lather from the Ingrams and followed it all up with a splash of AV. I'm loving life!
