Mickey, very nice brush with an interesting story behind it.

Good day to all the gentlemen on Damon Fine Shave this morning. I hope you are enjoying your shaves and doing well.

Today, I had a chance to try a trio of Cosmo products. Started with body soap, worked as expected (this scent is new to me but I have tried many of the other soaps).

I have found a new love for this brush and have really been impressed with the Vie Long silver tip knot. It paired nicely with the thick, protective lather that 4.2 produces.

A nice against the grain pass using the Muhle R41 (2013) filled with a Kai blade. It bit my lower neck a bit but rubbed the face with ice during the shave to keep it from hopefully not getting hot or inflamed.

I had been using the other Anti Aging Face Serum frequently as of late. Now today the first of version containing more vitamin E (aka tocopherol acetate), provitamin B5, glycerin as well as the truffle oil extract. Cosmo Face Serum is the fragranced counterpart but I used it first and skipped the SV Cosmo aftershave splash, even though I had it.

Needless to say but it seems like it can carry water to the skin but in general I have tried to see how many products relate to water and how you use them to hydrate the skin and hair. My face has been feeling softer even though I do still get some rough shaves when I try to achieve uncomfortably "close" shaves.

Cheers and enjoy your morning everyone.

Slept in bed until 10am with too much to drink last night and it has been such overwhelming with the guys in London.

This was a good shave, but I'm still sick, so I couldn't really smell anything. It is more difficult to be out sick as a teacher than it is to go in and tough it out. Especially this week as my AP Psych students near their first exam of the year.
