Pre-shave: warm shower with unscented glycerin soap
Lather: Wee Babby savon à raser, face-lathered
Aftershave: Olm Nom
Post-shave: face wash with shave binky and a drop of hyaluronic acid and a drop of glycerin
Post-shave: Equate moisturizer

So last night’s shave wasn’t even an hour ago, but it was very good. Between three thorough face washes in the shower and practically eliminating skin stretching from my routine, most of the elements of comfort fell into place and my whiskers fell between the teeth of my razor’s comb.

The BSS#1 unscented Carolina Raktvål and AP ShaveCo’s Titanium UHD knot (in its stylish, beehive handle) teemed up with cold tap water to form the perfect lather.

Earlier, under supervision of Wifey and Wee Babby, I boiled and fried pierogies. Success must’ve been a fluke. More testing required.

Sam, the lukewarm showers will probably be a Late Spring through Early Autumn thing.

Happy shaves, everyone!

I don’t know if it was substituting my glycerin bath soap with regular bath soap, using a blade that wasn’t in the razor when I accidentally dropped it the other day, or shaving on just 23 hours growth, but it was even more enjoyable than the previous shave. Not BBS, but also not how’d I miss all that?!” Auspicious start to the month!

If oligarchs that use USA hegemonic reach for their ends continue to influence the world, that was my fault. Didn’t shop Friday or Saturday, but topped off the gas tank and got a “coffee” from Dunks on Sunday. Was so close, too. Sorry world.

Also on Sunday, took Wee Babby to a tabletop meet up at The Castle in Beverly, Massachusetts and Wifey and I picked out some sweets at Prides Crossing Confections before having our own lunch at the Castle. Lemme tell you, turtles with macadamia, cashews, or almonds (we had all three) strike pecan turtles from the sky.

Happy shaves, everyone!

Dearest Uncle Thom,

got kicked out of the bar as they stopped serving alcohol anyhow we were talking about a movie and its epic ending, I forgot about our talk of making you a Super Evil so I am gonna do it now half sober, its where the best music, movies, and idea come to life.

Movie Title : The Ambassador

Young Osy suffering and slaving at GSB temple and labs, Thom takes pity over this young padawan or darth and helps him escape while evading and fighting GSB cults. In a final battle, Thom the Ambassador sacrifices himself for Osy and saves him in a tear jerking, emotional *cue sad music* and touching 1 liners. (No!!!!!!! marvel, take your copyright lawsuit back, The Ambassador has no claws! and he is not a Xman)

Where am I going with this, dunno Im drunk, till next time!

In the battle of the better-hydrating bath soap, Irish Spring felt like it did the job better, but I got a closer shave after using the Essentials unscented glycerin bar, but that could’ve been me just shaving more as I feel overshaved the next morning. A little chase down of stragglers on my jawline has me wanting to change up my “technique” a little for the next shave even though what works for a few dozen partially trimmed whiskers may not translate to a few thousand fresh whiskers. Can’t wait to find out!

A long day ahead. Another chance to get it right.

Happy shaves, everyone!

There are so many people here who love the various base plate Game Changers.... I'm almost tempted to try one.... But then I think about the razors I already have and think.... Would a Game Changer be a game changer for me? So I've fought off the urge to add one... I do think, it would likely be easier finding a GC base plate what works for me than the long and arduous trials with the SuperSlant.... I can't say I enjoyed that journey all that much, but am glad I finally found a model that checks all the boxes.... As you know, the L2++OC is wonderful for me... Whew...

When I deplete the various facial cleansing products I have, I plan to try some plain ol' unscented glycerin facial soaps... I'm pretty much just using Stirling Unscented Oatmeal bar soaps at the moment... I think I bought 5 of them... I'm on bar #2, at the moment... They don't last all that long as I use them for body soap as well... My face seems to like them well enough. <eg>

There’s nothing the two Game Changer plates I have would do that your L2++OC won’t do better.

Have only used Sheep bath soap from Stirling. Thought it was great, but $$$. The Essentials unscented glycerin soap shifts in price on Crazy Jeffy’s River Store, but it works well as a bath soap.

Roughly, how much is the Essentials unscented glycerin soap? I paid $5 for the Oatmeal unscented from Stirling....

I bought three 3.5 ounce bars for $8.01usd shipped, but the price jumped after that

Thank you for sharing your movie idea with me, @Osyri Though I do wonder how sacrificing one’s life to save someone from a younger generation would be evil unless you’ve read nothing but Ayn Rand novels all your life.
