Wow so things got really busy there about January which saw me start using my DE's again. It got so bad, I even ended up bringing my brush and creams into the shower and shaved in there with it all lol!! Sacrilegious I know lol!! But alas - even the extra 5 minutes was seemingly needed + I admit it... I got lazy .

BUT:

Today, well today was a big day with a few events that I had to attend. I took it easy this morning and pulled out my scuttle, soap, glycerine... and made myself a nice hot Uber. Then I pulled out my favorite - my Swede! And stropped her up!

Gents it was heaven!! Heck it was as if I had never stopped using my straights. Moreover, to my amazement, I didn't forget to stretch! It was an awesome shave... it was like coming home lol. Moreover, after all was said and done, I rubbed the alum over the old face and balm - not an ounce of burn!!

I am kind of shocked. I guess pleasantly surprised should be the term. I just thought it would have been a harder transition.

What about you guys? Ever transition back to a straight after a long hiatus and find it painless?
