Poppy looks like one very well-looked-after puppySOTD Saturday 17 August
The Morning Shave.
- Razor Gillette Adjustable FatBoy G1 (5)
- Blade Gillette Minora Stainless (3)
- Pre-Shave Tricare Goats Milk
- Brush Synthetic
- Cream Jack The Barber - Sandalwood
- Post Shave Thayers Witch Hazel - unscented
- Aftershave Brut Splash
- Balm Nivea – Sensitive Post Shave Balm
Not quite a morning shave today, closer to afternoon.
After a long walk with Poppy an American Bulldog a shower & shave was a welcome refresh.
The Gillette Minora Stainless was in my 1961 Gillette Adjustable FatBoy today.
3rd use on this blade, full head & face shave.
The Jack the Barber cream whipped into a very soft creamy lather with plenty of protection.
The shave was effortlessly smooth with no weepers.
The Sandalwood scent is quite mild. It was a little hot out today, so decided on the Thayers Facial Toner. Very refreshing post shave.
For the animal lovers, here is a picture of Poppy.

I haven’t been shaving for a little while, since I had another eye surgery again and had another retinal detachment failed on my left eye, this is the fifth surgery and if my retina failed again I will be blind for life in my left eye.
The specialist told me that my right eye retina will fail any time in the future, and I’ll be completely blind for life and there no point having surgery on my right eye.
Therefore as I was born 3 and half weeks premature with cerebral palsy, profound hearing loss, there is no point me living anymore. IF my right eye retina failed any time in the future, I will be put to sleep end of life, there’s no point me living anymore been totally blind, profoundly deaf and cerebral palsy all at the same time, it’s very stressing and on my whole family. Sorry I haven’t been myself for a while since my first surgery.

Hi islantman where do you buy your blades? (I'm hope its somewhere with reasonable postage to Australia)
A good source for GEM blades with reasonable shipping to Australia is Connaught Shaving in the UK.Hi islantman where do you buy your blades? (I'm hope its somewhere with reasonable postage to Australia)
