Hello "moustache" Fred. It's doing great. You can't go wrong with any PAA soap. They give outstanding lathers and the overall performance is really great. The Gillette razor seems quite mild but does the job. Nice shave. See you soon.

Yeah, the razor is on the mildere side. Cant go wrong with PAA
@paulogama578210 күн бұрын
Hi Fred. I've been curious about the Zomchi razor but for me it seens too mild. The problem with those razors is that you have to press harder and that causes irritation, cuts and so on, even using a blade like feather. The Christmas Eve soap is a solid performer with a fantastic scent. By the way congratulations for the stache, is doing great. See you soon my friend.

Never imagined you'd shave today. The obstacle of the stache has been surpassed as i can see. Today's soap seems interesting, a very good lather with amazing properties. One more to try for sure. The downside of our "hobby" is that i really can't tell how many soaps and creams i have in my den up today. It was good to watch you mate. See you
