Cold Water Rinse
Nivea Shave Cream
Jayaruh #217 Synthetic
Henckels Rapide Lather Catcher
Henckels Wedge
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Nivea Shave Balm

Well, this was my planned shave for today, but we had a big snow yesterday. and at 3 AM this morning we lost power. It just came on about 3 PM. I did now shave, and I will shave tomorrow with another setup. It got down to 48 degrees in the house. We went down to the clubhouse which has a gas heater and a gas stove. I thought I'd make a frozen pizza there. However, a gas stove will not work without electricity. We stayed down there about an hour with another homeowner. The temp outside was12 degrees. When I entered my 48 degree house, it felt like the house was heated. HA! It was just 36 degrees warmer.
