Shaving With Palmolive Stick

On January 2nd I got to use one of my favorite products the Palmolive Shaving Stick.

The Palmolive Shaving Stick is a classic, budget-friendly shaving soap that has been a staple in the wet shaving community for decades. Known for its excellent value and performance, it offers a traditional shaving experience with the following key features:

Ingredients and Formula
Tallow-based: The classic formula includes tallow, which provides a rich and creamy lather that is both cushioning and moisturizing.

Mild scent: It has a clean, soapy scent with subtle herbal or citrus undertones, making it inoffensive and suitable for everyday use.

Shaving With Artillery Gunner


I get to use Artillery Gunner today from the Dirty Girls series this scent is based on Yves Saint LaurentL'Homme" I used to wear this one in my late 20s or early 30s. I just loved it and now I can shave with it as well. A fantastic lather with amazing slickness & glide and a wonderful post-shave feel. only to be improved by the aftershave which I didn't want to take out of stock so I opted for an American blend not a match but Fine has some wonderful aftershave I must say.

As for the movies I watch this time I added a book to the mix. Matthew Perry's memoir, Life, Love, and the Terrible Thing, is a candid and heartfelt exploration of the actor's life, career, and struggles with addiction. Known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on Friends, Perry delves deeply into his personal journey, offering readers an unflinching look at his battles with alcohol and substance abuse, which began in his early twenties and persisted throughout much of his life. The first chapter will open your eyes to just how bad it was.

Shaving With 1K

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue has been one of my favorite scents for some time, and when we finally reached 1K members in our Facebook group, that was the scent I used to celebrate the milestone. Now I get to use it for this shave, and if you haven't tried it, let me say you're missing something.

I also used the 1K aftershave and when I woke up the next morning I could still enjoy the scent not too many aftershaves do that but this one did.

I have seen a few movies since we last spoke one of them is No Good Deed on Netflix - "No Good Deed" has been praised for its clever writing, fast-paced narrative, and well-balanced blend of mystery and comedy. The ensemble cast, including Linda Cardellini, Luke Wilson, Teyonah Parris, Abbi Jacobson, and Denis Leary, delivers engaging performances that contribute to the show's acclaim. Critics have noted that while the numerous twists and turns can occasionally feel overwhelming, the strong cast and intriguing premise provide a solid foundation for the series.

Shaving With Silent Night

I found my Tub of Silent Night today. I was cleaning my office and spent nearly 3 hours throwing things away cleaning up rearranging and there it was I found it behind the rack it must have dropped off and fallen to the floor so I said no better time to take a shave than right now so off to the den I went.

I also fixed my Occam's Razor Nano put the screw back in place replaced the blade and it was good as new and performed like a champ.

In our YouTube Video today I talk about Medicare and in 2025 in August I will be turning 65 so I'm reading and looking at all the Videos I can find on the subject. I have to tell you it can be a confusing thing to do. I will need to sign up three months before my birthday.

I will be listing a few videos that go over the process and one that tells a story of how an Advantage program kicked this young man's mother out of a Nursing home.

Shaving With True Lavender


The holiday spirit is in the air, and the first snow of the season fell on Long Island two days ago. I woke up to snow on the ground—not much, but everything was covered for a while. Having the condition that I'm in the snow is the enemy. If I fall or slip it's not a good day so I was glad to see most of it disappear before the day was through.

Having said all this, it was getting close to the weekend, and I hadn’t shaved for the Saturday video release. I looked in the den and realized when was the last time I used True Lavender, so I grabbed the tub and aftershave, and this was the result.

Thanksgivng shave with a twist - Ouch!

The day started like a dream. I had been invited to a Thanksgiving feast with my nephew and the rest of the family! The gift I purchased on Amazon (Monster Truck) for my nephew's son Connor had arrived and I was set. Knowing we were expected to arrive around 2:00, I planned to shave before heading out. For the occasion, I chose my infinity shaving soap and Occam's Razor Enhanced Nano (O.R.E.N.).

Zomchi Safety Razor Black & Mr Warlock

The Zomchi Safety Razor in Black is an impressive addition to traditional wet shaving. Its stunning black finish immediately catches the eye, exuding an air of sophistication and quality. The craftsmanship is apparent from the moment you hold it; the razor feels solid and well-constructed, giving the impression of a product built to last. Its handle offers a wonderful grip, ensuring that even in wet conditions, you maintain full control over your shave.

One of the standout features of this razor is its balance. It feels perfectly weighted in hand, making each pass smooth and effortless. This design element contributes significantly to the overall shaving experience, offering precision without feeling unwieldy. While the razor handles beautifully, it is slightly less aggressive than some of Zomchi’s earlier offerings. For seasoned wet shavers, this can be a positive, allowing
