MUCH better shave today. No irritation and smoothness on par with my DE. Still had to break out the 38C to touch up my neck. Unfortunately I also got a couple of pretty good cuts (not nicks) due to poor technique. Still have much to learn.

• Inexpensive boar bristle brush
• Combination of milled soaps with about a tsp. pure glycerin
• Boker King Cutter from L&D
• Tabac Original after shave
• All set to the guitar wizardry of Frank Zappa

First attempt at the Shavette resulted in a nice slice above the lip on the first pass. Tried a second pass while stemming the flow but eventually gave way to the superspeed...if at first you don't succeed... I thought I'd try the Shavette before I try to use a straight (I have one on the way), but this may not be the best of plans...
