Shave of the Day - 10/14

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

 I'm back. Internet is working again. We have weathered the storm well in North Cackalaky. We are on high ground and only lost two trees. Down the hill from us four homes washed away and many were flooded. Three men lost their lives along with their homes because they refused to evacuate.

I shaved this morning with Proraso Green and my Roger Quintero Schick inspired injector razor. I used my Jayaruh #461 synthetic brush to face lather the Proraso. I finished off with Duru Lemon Cologne. I am clean, smooth and refreshed.
