In the mid-1950s three unrecruited black basketball players, coached by a white former prison guard who had never before coached a college team, led a small Jesuit university in San Francisco to two national titles. The Dandy Dons describes for the first time how the unprecedented accomplishment of the Dons, led by coach Phil Woolpert and future hall-of-famers Bill Russell and K. C. Jones, paved the way for black talent in major college basketball and transformed the sport.
James W. Johnson traces the backgrounds of the coach and players, chronicles the heart-stopping games on the road to the championships, and details the Dons' novel techniques: a more vertical game, more central defense, and intimidation as part of game strategy. He also gives a textured picture of life on an integrated basketball team amid a culture of racism and Jim Crow in mid-twentieth-century America.

I like it
Great after-shave product. It deeply moisturizes the skin and even makes my tattoo look more vibrant and defined. I haven’t noticed any significant effect on slowing hair growth yet, but it completely prevents irritation and leaves the skin feeling smooth and comfortable. For the price, it’s an excellent product and definitely worth trying.

Lightweight
I’m impressed with VG VOGCREST Cyperus Rotundus Oil. From the first use, it felt lightweight yet nourishing, and it absorbs beautifully without leaving a greasy residue. I especially appreciate that it’s all-natural, which gives me peace of mind about what I’m putting on my skin and hair.

Got a rash from it
Color: Green, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I'm in that percentage of women who have chin hair, unfortunately. I shave almost every day so I bought this thinking maybe it would help stretch it out a few days. I used it twice and broke out in a rash (just on the chin/neck area). I was sitting at work and subtley scratched my chin area. Thought nothing of it. Then I scratched a little more. Until I realized something wasn't right. By the time I got home I could see the red. My skin can sometimes be sensitive to new cleansers/creams/oils. It may work for some, but it didn't work for me. On a positive note, it's odorless, lol.

Great after shave product for smooth skin
Color: Green, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Not only does it help slow hair regrowth, it helps with razor burn too!
