Thread: Tell Us Your Routines

hot shower
razor, any number of about a dozen, but often my 7/8 half hollow W&B smiling spike w. desert ironwood scales
strop 12-20 laps on Illinois 361 linen (optional)
strop 60 laps frequently on the Illinois 361
lather TGQ Leatherneck & Edwin Jagger BBB
(sometimes) Trufitt and Hill 1805 & custom SST badger brush w. maple burl handle
1st pass directly ATG on my neck sideburns and cheeks, then WTG on goatee
I rinse, then wipe the blade when it is loaded
lather with the soap again (cream needs no second lathering, just a splash of hot water
2nd pass ATG on the goatee only
water only touch up (hunt & peck)
cold water splash, pat dry
Thayer's Witch Hazel Skin Astringent with Aloe as AS
Lush Celestial moisturising cream
usually Nigerian Green Musk EO as a scent
wipe the edge with rubbing alcohol
strop about 20 laps on the TM Red Latigo hanging from my wardrobe

... or variations along that theme.

Today I did an ATG pass with water only and my DD Special on my neck sideburns and cheeks after stropping 60 laps on the Proforma strop which just arrived.

Hope that helps.
