What worked well last night worked great again this morning. (technique)
I got a BBS/DFS with "No Nicks or Weepers"
No Razor Burn, I did need to used the Afta After Shave Skin Conditioner,
it really does feel very soothing in this humidity and heat.
I used Williams Mug Shaving Soap
I will continue to use it the rest of this coming week, in Honor of my Father for Father's Day.
He always used either Williams Mug Shaving Soap or I think Palmolive Shaving Cream in the can. I do remember him using a mug and brush.
Maybe after all of these years I have finally learned how to shave?​

My Thanks to Nelson (Bayamontate) for sending me this blade which he expertly honed for me after reading of my somewhat 'lacking' attempts at honing them. Man! It is a whisker-slayer! Thanks, Nelson! (Looking forward to some tutoring )!


Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!

I had a great day today playing with my kids and spending time with my family in general. I have been working so much lately, it was great to just spend time with everyone. I didn't shave until late this evening and used my father's day gift from my family courtesy of gssixgun. It is a beautiful razor and provided great two pass shave needing only a little touch up with the DE due to my lack of skill.
