Nice hot bath, using my Case Red Imp straight razor to shave my legs (for those who don't know me, I am a woman and I have to shave). Taylor's Eton College soap, natural sponge, Mama Bear's Rosemary Mint shampoo and Origins apricot Fresh Rinse conditioner.

The Shave:
  • Dovo Prima Klang 5/8", red oak handles, stropped 30x on rough black side of a TI 4-sided paddle, then 30x on 0.5 pasted leatehr, then 30x on smooth leather.
  • Nice hot, wet towel with a bit of lavendar oil on face.
  • Lather up with Colleen's Leatherneck soap on my silver badger-hair brush from a scuttle.
  • Hot, wet towel soak again a la Lynn's video
  • Origins' pre-shave oil applied
  • Lather up again, same soap.
  • Nice shave with the Prima Klang
  • Thayers Supermedicated blue label splashed on
  • Origin's "Fire Firghter" aftershave
  • Origin's super antioxidant moisturizer on rest of face!
My favorite preshave oil is the Truett & Hill, for the smell, and on the soaps it's a toss-up between Mama Bear and Colleen's soaps. Aftershave, it's between Mama Bear and Castle Forbes.'
