Return to Straights
Took my first straight shave in about 3 months! I had quit because I got tired of all the hassle with stroping, lathering, etc. I just got lazy in the incredible Texas Hill Country heat and drought. This morning I got out my IXL, hone, strop, and Semoke brush with mug of Pirate's Cove Bay Rum soap and had a reunion with my razor routine. It was great to be back. No nicks, burn, nor skips. That outdoor morning shave gave me a new outlook on life again. It is good to be back after all these weeks. I hope yall appreciate the skills and pride that goes along with this noble hobby/pastime.

Glad to hear that you came back to it and enjoyed it. You can always get a disposable straight blade and not bother with the stropping and honing.

Welcome back Timberrr & shame on you for being lazy
Still in drought there ? Hardly stops raining here now.
Have to send some North of the equator
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

I've just been returning as well... My primary razor needs honed, but I found my other 2 are actually pretty good! And yes, it's good to be back!
