There's something gelatinous about it... and it's in that family of powder scents.Thad Laundervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822588730840509312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734289465305695501.post-68950811308631564272016-12-11T08:47:34.696-05:002016-12-11T08:47:34.696-05:00VDH deluxe, Shave Secret, Maggard 22mm knot synthe...VDH deluxe, Shave Secret, Maggard 22mm knot synthetic brush, MR1 razor, Racer stainless blade, Pinaud Clubman, And Nivea balm for sensitive skin.

I could see some shadow in my upper lip, but a solid DFS, despite a prep KNOWN to leave my hair fairly hard -- "Ayyyyyy!"Thad Laundervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822588730840509312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734289465305695501.post-68629274969151319492016-12-07T17:57:15.998-05:002016-12-07T17:57:15.998-05:00"Whatevs," said Stella (BD-177), combini..."Whatevs," said Stella (BD-177), combining the WTG efficiency of the slant with a gentle second pass and twist-adjusted, finish. "I can do anything that other ho do." Yeah, not quite as refined; love watching her work, though.Thad Laundervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822588730840509312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734289465305695501.post-3254553785655727272016-12-06T16:50:08.500-05:002016-12-06T16:50:08.500-05:00Another nice shave today, spoiling myself a little...Another nice shave today, spoiling myself a little with Tabac. The first pass couldn't reach skin, but Ruby still got there in three passes and some skimming. There is a capability in the Gillette design which the slant lacks.<br /><br />I think is analogous to that ESP button (Electronic Stability Program?) on your car, specifically relating to traction. If your minivan is not going anywhere in the snow, it's often not because the wheels are spinning, but because the computer isn't ALLOWING them to spin. So you have to turn it off in certain situations. I've heard that Alaskans just leave the damn thing off!Thad Laundervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822588730840509312noreply@blogger.com
