Feeling a bit better today, but still sick.
Two passes with the straight, clean up pass with the DE. My technique is getting better with the straight, I think, but still get a closer shave with the DE. Dorco is still cutting smooth.
Changed my routine a bit, and lathered with the VdH deluxe while stropping, then applied hot towels over that. Re lathered before the shave. I like this a lot. It seems to moisturize my face much more. Will be a permanent part of the routine, I think.
Have a great shave!

"Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River runnin' free, you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree, you know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me,
And I'm feelin' good"
