First day off in a little while so had a nice coffee and shave. Really like the Blue Myrsol - nice scent and decent menthol. Pairs beautifully with Tabac. It is always a bit of a shock going between the Thater and the BK12 - soft and backbone to soft and no backbone! King Pelikan smooth as always.

I am getting ready to go back home and, as usual, before leaving I always shave. The companion for my business trip has been this Mastro Livi Bluetongue Damasteel and it is the very first straight razor I bought from this highly revered Italian craftsman. After three years it is shaving like the first day and I am very happy with it as I never refreshed its edge, not even on chromium oxide. It is still capable of giving a super smooth and close shave with the well known and appreciate Damasteel aggressivity. Great shave!

-------German Wednesday-------
Razor--Boker Silver Steel 6/8 from SRD.
Hone--None.
Strop--SRD Premium1 20 laps on Premium fabric and 50 on leather.
Soap--Williams Mug.
Mug--Gimme coffee cup.
Brush--A badger that sheds worse than a sheep dog.
Aftershave--Alum block followed with 5 drops EEVO and Bay Rum.
Music--Lawrence Welk's orchestra performing the "Lichtensteiner Polka" and Whoopie John performing the "Laughing Polka".
Result--Super bbs shave. I have noticed that using the Boker I can get by with a two pass shave, WTG and ATG. I don't know if it's the razor or Lynn's honing but the thing really mows off my chin whiskers. Next shave is Sunday morning. You all have a great rest of the week.

Have been sick for quite a couple of days and mainly been doing the Tijuana-two-step between the bedroom and bathroom. Today finally things quieted down and I could get a proper shave. Two passes and I have my face back. Great pictures gentlemen. Cheers.

Morning gents Awesome shave with my DD Dwarf this morning. I was curious to see how many shaves I got with my little 2.5oz (70gr) bar of Col Conk Glycerin shave soap. I used this stuff years ago and back in the fall was browsing a Canadian online retailer looking at stuff and decided to try it again. Economical at $7.50 CDN a bar/tub so I started keeping track in my shaving journal/spreadsheet. My wife thinks I am OCD with all my keeping track of stuff. Wait, wait wait, that would be CDO... Phew! That was close. I opened it Saturday, November 12, 2015 and have shaved with it pretty much exclusively. Yeah, I know boring and who cares? Anyway, as of today I am down to just a few little shreds or shavings of the bar left and have got 47 shaves out of it. I figure a few more before I can't work up a lather. There were a few days when I didn't shave with a straight simple because it was kinda a shotgun kind of morning. Alarm, boom! dress, hope my underwear are not inside out and socks are same color, zoom, kinda morning. Personally I don't really think it's important if my BVD's are inside or right side. I mean at least I got them on right?
