Sunday

30/30 TM red latigo
Hot shower
Shavemac 220

A very nice sunday shave.

Two excellent shaves this weekend. Odd, because it was also a cabin trip.

Each time, I was able to get VERY smooth on the cheeks, and remove most of the stubble under my chin without more than a couple nicks. No irritation either! I wonder if the extra stropping before the trip helped (about 30-50 passes).

Same gear as before: W.H. Sample & Sons 5/8, Barbasol foamy.

Can't wait for my package from Tony to arrive!
