All,
The addiction has kicked in for me. Last Thursday I shaved with my SR for the first time. Got a decent shave, posted about it. I did not shave on Friday or Saturday to give my face a rest....big mistake

I got up a little early on Sunday, showered and started the ritual. I was able to get a BBS on my cheeks and a close shave on the chin. The hair was pulling but I managed. I did have to work part of the throat with my DE

The wife really liked my cheeks and spent the day touching and rubbing them.

This morning I woke up about a half hour early, showered and yep you guessed it, ran the SR ritual. I added a razor strop to the ritual as this was my second shave with one of my Wade and Butcher's. The cheeks are BBS and the chin is even closer. I was able to add a little bit on the throat but I still had to hit the throat area with the DE.

I have to hit the face with cold water tomorrow because even with the moisturizer my face has been burning when I put on my Clubman aftershave. Needless to say I look forward to shaving now and I enjoy learning how to use my SR's.

I just found out that we will be going to New York City in June for a wedding. I have to purchase a travel shaving brush and some soap for the road, time to purchase more stuff.
