Just about as rice and beans as it gets. Nothing fancy about this shave but the results. Had a small honing party in the wee hours of the morning. The edge on this one is spot on. Ah, old American steel.

Cold water face lathered shave. Man those horse hair brushes are a different experience, not bad but very different in face feel.

...I'm not kidding.
I haven't shaved in about 2 weeks, and the place I work has just introduced a new policy making ear muffs compulsory all day.
After a few hours, the ear muffs on top of my 2 week growth was unbearable.
So I went to the bathroom and shaved it off. Not the whole face, just the side-burns and back of the jaw area.
The knife is one I made myself, and have only just honed. So it had a nice fresh off the hones 1200 grit edge. Yep, thats 1200 not 12,000.
This was without a doubt the worst shave of my life, but not a bad story, and it got the job done. The ear muffs felt a lot better afterwards. So I thought it deserved the honor of a SOTD post.
Have a great week gentlemen, and thanks for the great posts and pics.
