Shaving With Proraso Green & something about Mary

Today's shave was like no other I will ever have again. I had just got back from seeing my wife Mary who was sent to hospice after her stay at Stony Brook Hospital. They did the best they could but mary was too weak to fight anymore. This video was done just prior to her death on September 22 a day before her 68th birthday. After pleading with my boss to let me work from home so I was not an hour and 35 min away she said no. She told me she didn't want to set a precedent. Mind you, I have been working for her for more than 8 years.

Here is the conversation I just had with my boss Jacky

Me - Hi Jacky, I know you’re aware of my situation. Mary is now in hospice, and we are waiting for her to pass. I would like to request permission to work from home during this difficult time so I can be closer to her instead of being an hour and forty minutes away.

I can continue handling all of my responsibilities for Cockpit USA from home, including answering the phones, and I will remain fully available throughout the workday. I would be very grateful for your understanding and consideration.

New From Wet The Face - Cienna Nights

Cienna Nights: A Different Kind of Fall Shaving Soap

As the weather begins to cool and the days grow shorter, fall fragrances start appearing everywhere. Most of them seem to follow the same familiar path—pumpkin spice, sweet cinnamon, and other dessert-inspired scents.

There is nothing wrong with those traditional fall fragrances, but with Cienna Nights, I wanted to create something different.

Cienna Nights blends aromatic sage with woodsy cypress, creating a scent that feels fresh, warm, and perfectly suited to the autumn season. The sage provides a crisp herbal character, while the cypress brings a deeper, natural warmth to the blend. Together, they create a sophisticated and outdoorsy fragrance that reminds me of a quiet fall evening.

Tonight's Shave - White Lotus

White Lotus — A Shave Worth Slowing Down For

There are mornings when shaving is simply part of getting ready for the day. Then there are those shaves when you have the time to slow down, build a good lather, enjoy the fragrance coming from the brush, and remember why you got into traditional wet shaving in the first place.

White Lotus was created for that second kind of shave.

The inspiration behind White Lotus was tranquility. I wanted a fragrance that didn't have to shout to get your attention. Instead, it develops gradually as you build the lather and work it across your face.

Tonights Shave Kiss My Face

 

Rediscovering Kiss My Face Shaving Cream After All These Years

Every once in a while, I like to reach back into my wet-shaving past and revisit a product I haven’t used in years. This time, that product was Kiss My Face Shaving Cream.

It had been a long time since I had shaved with it, and whenever you return to something after that many years, there’s always a question in the back of your mind: Was it really as good as I remember?

Well, after shaving with Kiss My Face again, I can say that it didn’t disappoint.
