Alright Shave 2

Same equipment as above, but used VDH soap from Walmart.

Pre-shave:
Prior to my shower I was working on my stropping, and placed several nicks in my Filly strop as seems to be custom for new guys. They've been cleaned up with a pumice stone.
Nice hot shower to soften the beard.

The Shave:
Managed 2 WTG(N->S) passes. Not a DFS or BBS but no nicks, no cuts, and no discomfort. I have a little redness at the base of my neck but that may be left over from my DE from yesterday.
Overall enjoyable and lots to learn.

Post shave:
Hot water rinse
Which Hazel
Cold water rinse
Nivea Balm

Had a new hand made/custom brush arrive today as well as 2 other razors. I'm going to try to stick with using just the Clover razor for the time being to keep as many variables out of it as I can.
