I figured out that my idea of going a few days w/o shaving prior to my first shave was not a good one. My beard is really thick and it was a little grabby the razors is probly too sharp. Bob Keyes restored it, and it is very sharp. I also realized that I need more water in the soap than I have been using. Suceeded, with a ton of suds.

All in all it seems that there is a bunch for me to learn and I'm pretty sure it is going to be fun.

Also my T. Miller strop came in.... Damn that thing is pretty. Almost hate to use it.

To finish out the day I went to the gun range and threw about 400 rounds down range in various calibers (.40, 5.56, and 12gauge) it went well. I'm also drinking some Johnny Black on the rocks right now.

Today was pretty damn good.

Razors, Guns, and my dear friend Mr. Walker...it sounds like it was a great day! Cheers!
