O.K. I hope this is in the correct form. This is my first SOTD post. Please let me know if I ramble too much or missed something that is supposed to be here.

Started with a good hot shower.
Washed my face with Burt'sBees Peppermint soap.
Filled the sink with really hot water and let my lather bowl warm up.
Stropped up my Carmen.
(20 on the canvas, and 40 on the leather)
Then did four hot towels with a rub of oil (just baby) between each one.
Washed face again with hot water and Bamboo facial scrub.
Lathered up with ClassicShaving.com Pure Gold (hypoallergenic soap).
Let it sit for a few seconds while I cranked up Corrosion of Conformity
Three passes WTG, XTG and then back XTG the other way.
Carefully neatened up the Goatee.
Good cold water wash.
Then finished with Pinaud-Clubman aftershave and a good facial rub to get the blood flowing!
