I shaved with straights for several years until our children came along. So during the off time I went back to a DE. At first it was too time consuming to straight shave trying to get our baby ready while my wife got ready and then me getting out the door to work in whatever time was left over. Then the toddler phase struck. I have to leave the bathroom door open while shaving, poor ventilation causing too much collected heat and humidity. But 98 days ago I pulled everything back out. It really was like riding a bike. Stropped it up and shaved away.

Until today. I had not had a nick, a weeper, a cut of any kind...then today I almost pierced my ear, put a divot in my upper lip, and four quite significant weepers on my neck. Everything can go down in hand basket pretty quickly. I think I may need to find someone to hone me up.

But yesterday...what a shave. I had my first shave with my new Nate's Straight Tiger Shark. That is a thing of beauty! Pics to come in tomorrows Shave of the Day. I trust you will all have wonderful shaves tomorrow!
