Tonight was all about getting that BBS. HASHTAGCHASINGIT!

So many exciting things to share tonight! Not only did I welcome two new whipped dogs to the rotationm, but actually added 4 new razors! Two were my whipped dogs (thanks Larry) and two flea market finds freshly cleaned and honed by Glen (@[USER=2180]gssixgun[/USER]) I started my shave this evening prior to checking the mail so I didn't even know my gemstar reconditions were in! So I took spike out for a spin on my face. Being that it's a round point, I didn't have to be as careful while shaving.

What a pleasure shaving with spike. Great shaver. I struggled with the stretching due to soap slickness - yeah hashtaggreatsoapproblems (@[USER=6]Queen of Blades[/USER]) honestly the easiest soap to load and produce a great, slicker, lather. Off my "soap" box...

After three easy passes with very little preasure, I move to the DE to chase the BBS! The only thing needed was a neck XTG and a neck ATG pass. GOT IT!!! So happy the have established a process - during the week, no DE. weekend - add the DE to "clean the goatee. I will say that in my process of working a handlebar goatee, I'm not 4 weeks out and entering that "freakin' annoyoning" phase.
Cheers!
Eric
