It Was A Dark Matter Day

Yes, it was a Dark Matter Day. It started last Friday when I was making a call to a customer, then I heard an explosion outside the house. A second later, all the power went out in the neighborhood. The power outage lasted from 6:30PM to 10:30PM. When the power finally went on, I was certainly relieved, and I needed to start the day early, so I went to sleep. When I got up the next morning, went into the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator, it was very warm. All the food had spoiled and needed to be thrown out. I called a Tech to come down to have a look, and he told me it would cost the same amount to buy a new one if he had to fix so off to Best Buy I went.

When In Doubt, Use Proraso

Yes! When in doubt, use Proaso; that's what I did. It comes in a tube, so it's easy to just squeeze some on your fingertips and apply it to your wet face. You can use a brush to make the lather, or do what I did: massage it into your beard, whichever way you choose, the outcome will be the same amazing lather.

Now, for me, the only thing that I have to worry about is the shaving cream drying out. This is not the fault of Proraso because it happens to me no matter what shaving cream I use. All I do is just add a little water to my hand and then reactivate the shaving cream by going over the same areas I applied it to, and presto! Problem solved.

Despite my dull single-edge blade, the shaving cream allowed me to glide right over my face with an irritation-free shave with no nicks or cuts. Truly a wonderful shave.

Shaving With 2K Based on Creed Aventus

Today, I'm using 2K, created to commemorate reaching 2,000 FB Members. We are heading near 3K, so please let anyone who wants to join know. I would love to make a 3K soap for when that happens.

I had taken the liberty of making a new label for this soap because I don't really think the old one conveyed what the soap was all about in terms of scent. I hope the redesign helps in this direction.

Also, in this video, I shout out to the Coram Fire Dept, which I have been told by my nephew, they have a few guys who watch my video and buy my products, and for that, a big thank you.

Finally, I talk about the 4 or so movies and series I'm currently watching on Netflix

Barbus Active - 6 years later

The last time I used Barbus shaving soap was 6 years ago. A subscriber sent me a box full of products and wanted me to do a review of all of them. I reviewed all the products that pertained to wet shaving. But he was still not satisfied; he wanted me to just keep using them, and I tried to explain to him that it just doesn't work that way. Clearly, we had a language barrier since he was from Slovakia and had come to the US and landed in N.J. At the time, his website only had products from Barbus https://grujoskionline.com/ but now his pages are full of other products from different companies. I wish him well.

Barbus Active is the one I'm using today, and when you watch the video, I didn't bowl lather; I just loaded the brush from the plastic tub, and in less than a minute, the brush was loaded, and I was ready to face lather. Man, it produced some thick creamy lather that got right into the bread, allowing me to shave without fear of irritation. The post-shave feel was a good one as well. I would still recommend Barbus, and after six years, the same soap did not disappoint.
