Took the Mondesir to the leather strop for fifty passes each side. I haven't been using this one lately (in fact, I have been considering letting it go since it doesn't see much use in the rotation), but it gave a nice shave, one pass wtg and one xtg. I worked on the vegetable garden this weekend and even with an spf on, I got a little red, so I used this Helan Alba Whitening Treatment Cream and it not only moisturized but reduced much of the redness.

By the way,  an attractive female friend visiting from Ecuador gave me a hug and said, “Wow, you smell good!” That's a pretty good plug for the Antaeus!
