Good Saturday morning...
Wald Solingen Es-Ese 5/8 and '51 Black Tip w/Gillette "swede"
Edwin Jagger BBB
Arko Limon sc
Thayers Original WH w/ aloe
Musgo Real ASB
C&E Sandalwood EDT
After a day off from shaving, a decent first pass with the straight and a very nice second and third pass with the Black Tip. No irritation from the "Swede" today...perhaps after a few shaves it calms down for me...I am still struggling with stropping and I left another nick at the bottom of the strop (ARGHHHH!!!) despite my caution...otherwise, a fine way to start the day

Saturday
Razor: 6/8 Boker "King Kutter"
Brush: Plisson #10 HMW
Soap: Floris No.89 (tallow version)
A/S: DR Harris a/s milk (old)
Edt: Floris No.89
Really nice shave today, I need to concentrate more on making all my shaves this enjoyable. I tend to spend too much time with what end up being IMO inferior products. My goal the rest of the year is to get rid of anything that I don't thoroughly enjoy using.

- Penchetta Penworks Redwood Burl Silvertip
- Godrej Menthol Mist
- 6/8 Geo. Wostenholm & Sons Double Concave Celebrated IXL
- Thayer's A/F Original
