FREE WEEK, SOTD "themed week" January 23rd - January 29th 2012

[Rufust445]

Wednesday:

Turkish horse hair brush Nr. 6
Arko stick whipped up in a bowl
Schick Krona razor
7 o'clock yellow, 1st shave
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2009 formula

First time I can remember getting a first shave with a 7 o'clock yellow without even a weeper. Well, maybe one or two weepers that disappeared after a cold water rinse. The Krona razor had been put aside for some time, but is now the best bet for using up the rest of my 7 o'clock yellows and other PPI blades. Not, however, without scraping off the wax spots with a used blade first, which is still a Royal P-I-T-A.
