  • Sock: UNI QLO レギュラーソックス SOCKS SUPIMA COTTON MEN 25-27cm (new)
  • Razor: ATT Windsor Pro SB90
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
  • Lather: Proraso - Sandalwood - Cream
  • Post Shave: Proraso - Sandalwood - Aftershave

Is it safe to open my eyes now???

I stocked up on new business socks in Japan. The scent of sandalwood combined with a brand new sock exposed to water and soap for the first time was not good at all. I do not recommend.

The lather was not good either. I did the soak. Then I squeezed out the water going about it as if it was a brush. Slowly adding water but nothing happening, so I added more cream and more water. At least my bowl is good for this kind of experiment - it’s a cheapie from Kmart - I have found it to be excellent good size bowl for really working the lather and moving it around. This time however I was left with a foamy soupy later. I tried to apply the lather on the face with the sock. Yucky, so I scooped up the lather with my hands instead. Conclusion: socks sucks.

At least the aftershave was good.
