Nothing personal to anyone, but I won't be doing any "LIKES" any more with the new system. I don't want to clog up anyone's Alerts. Now it is hard to tell when you get an actual message. Please don't "LIKE" me either, I will understand. Seems to PC to me.

Maybe I misinterpret the system, but I have my settings such that I receive an email when someone PMs me. Also, the mail icon will denote a new PM.  I ignore the red bell notifier.

Bob,
You can adjust the alert settings to not include likes. I also find this annoying and changed the settings and now I don't get any alerts for likes anymore.

German is correct. Click the alerts icon, then "Alerts Settings":

L'Essor - SABI, superbly smooth and efficient.

I just did half my face with the Asylum RX and the other half with BB OC. I think it was a tie.

Tuesday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Weber ARC
Blade: Permasharp
Brush: 'Jade' (Rooney Heritage 2XL Jade)
Soap: Wholly Kaw ‘Agrumi in Estate’
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / RazoRock Aftershave Wax

despite being shafted by customs for £13.50, I really enjoyed ‘Agrumi in Estate’... I'm sure the extra ingredients have improved the base some, as it felt lighter, and somewhat slicker... maybe others have noticed this, and could shed some light? the scent was subtle, summery, and reminded me of something that I can't quite put my finger on... but, after last nights shift, it was just the pick me up that I needed.. all's good


Saturday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: ‘The Rock’ (Rockwell 6S – #3)
Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra
Brush: 'The Duke' (Duke 3 Best)
Soap: Shannon's "Lit"
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Chatillon Lux Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve
Fragrance: Boadicea the Victorious 'Nemer'

a truly outstanding shave... if you've never tried a Shannon's soap, you really owe it to yourself to give it a try... the regular base is fantastic, and the Rust Belt Reserve is even better... and, what more can I say about ‘The Rock’/Gillette Bleue Extra combo.. sublime shaves every time..
