Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,573

Been busy lately. Lost an Aunt I was close to that lived in New Mexico this week. It's been a rough 10 months between losing my Mother in Law in April and then my Stepdad (more a Father) in Nov and now this. Also getting things in order before I have surgery to help me breath better hopefully. Septoplasty as well as a valve implant requiring a graft taken from behind my ear. That will be Wednesday March 1st. Have Gotham The Five Points Soap and Splash coming as a gift from Pasteur's Pharmacy I believe on Monday, so I may do a video on Tuesday morning to get the review done before the surgery. Hoping I can keep my string of Consecutive shaves going after the surgery but we will see. I was able to do it after shoulder surgery(left handed) but unsure of swelling etc with this so playing it by ear. Have a great day everyone ! No Pic Today.......

Dave I’m so sorry for your losses. So many in such a short time. I know the feeling very well. An take care of yourself as far as post surgery and don’t push yourself to much.

Feel better my friend!

The barber was in this morning.

Vétyver série limitée (Martin de Candre) simple vetiver
43 shaves until Easter

Twice now I’ve managed to go a full week using only one soap. Pat my back! My aim has been twofold: first, to become well acquainted with each soap, and second, to establish a steady skincare regimen in the hope of preventing irritation. My efforts have met with partial success, as hot spots persist, particularly following the application of aftershaves or lotions. Regrettably, something in these post-shave products does not agree with my tender hide, so I’ve chucked them from my shaving arsenal. From now on, the soap alone must handle all the hydrofaction.

Now my attention has turned to lean, simple soaps, ones that are hopefully free of whatever has been bothering my skin. Among them Martin de Candre reigns supreme in its unparalleled simplicity. Apart from it fragrance oils, it lists only five ingredients on the label. In the upcoming week, I’ll stick with Vétyver, and if my skin fares well, it could very well become my soap for the season, extending its reign until Easter morning.

Dave in KY, sorry for the rough spell you’ve had lately. You and your family are in our thoughts. Good luck with the surgery, and careful climbing those trees.
