After I got back from the bike ride this morning I stroped my razor. While gathering items for the warm shower (it is hot here in Fort Worth) I put the bowl and brush in the sink to soak and warm the bowl. After the shower loaded the B4 brush with Sandalwood from SRP and lathered in the bowl I swiped from the kitchen. Lathered face then took wet face towel to kitchen and nuked for 20 seconds. After letting the towel breath for a moment I placed it on my face and watched the local weather for about 5 minutes. Went back to the bathroom and applied another layer of lather, then started with the right side-burn and cheek. Moved to the left side, then worked on both jaws. Touched up lather on neck then right and left side of neck were shaved. Chin and lower lip were last to shave and that went well. Repeated lather and proceeded to shave again with grain again except the neck which was all directions. Cold water rinse and pat dry. After getting dressed for the day applied some Nivea and Old Spice mix to face with just a mild tingle to face, no burn like with the electric.

Results:

Smoothest shave I have had ever, no nicks, no cuts, just smooth.
