conditioner
strop20 linen 30 leather. I would strop more but the pins are so loose I kept having to stop my strokes to make sure I would not roll the edge. It was 30 half assed strokes at best
Gather up all of my gear to the downstaris bathroom sink where there is only a sink a toilet and a towel rack. Go to make my hot towel and guess what that sink is leaking. So I fill it with water and plug the drain.
Hot towel
lather
wait for lather to soak in while I have a smoke
hot towel from the microwave over lather
relather and shave 2 passes. This razor is not shaving what it should be and I have a good deal of irritation after the shave.

I think I went at this for an hour today. There you have it. A bad shave in the SOTD forum. Maybe I ought to only post here when I have a really good shave but I thought I should share.
