My first SRP SOTD post...

- Ever Ready 100T Boar
- Palmolive Shave Stick
- 6/8 Wostenholm Double Concave IXL
- -notice?! no 'touch up' razor here!! :tu
- Thayer's AF Original
- Hattric
Result: Today I did WTG and XTG with the straight...Today was my first 'passable' shave with the straight! It's not BBS by far, nor DFS, but I could wear it in to work (must be clean shaven in uniform) and not be hassled. :D A few nicks that closed with CWR, and a slice on my chin that took a stiptic to stop, all due to the awkwardness of my first XTG - trying to learn different angles. But my stubble has been reduced to an acceptably 'shaved' level. What an awesome feeling!!!

First day of two straight weeks of straight shaving...first touch with the straight left a nice nick by my sideburn...the sloppiness continues as i finished my thrid pass with the Tech and I cut myself on the chin...sheesh...still a newbie at heart...I got complacent with one of my favorite razors...I'm not enthralled with the GHT cream, but I may have not used enough water...sorry for the rambling...

Monday 4/6
- Penchetta Penworks Silvertip
- Erasmic Shave Cream
- 6/8 Wostenholm Double Concave Celebrated IXL
- Thayer's AF Originial
- Floid Vigoroso
Result: A little over confident, I think, after yesterday's success. No nicks or cuts this time, but some burn in the awkward angle spots. And another successful "passable for work" shave, WTG/XTG. First time with the Erasmic lather - not too fond of the scent, I was hoping for that awesome fougere scent the stick has. Also, a first time with the Floid Vigoroso - not too fond of that scent, either, and not nearly as much menthol cooling as I had expected.... :shrug:

After about 30 laps on the strop one full WTG pass with the Lunawerk went well and without incident. I like being forced to concentrate with the straight, and as I was moving slowly I had to re-lather above my lip. I managed my neck area nicely and finished the shave with two passes with the DE. I like the Trumpers brush as it is softer and floppier than my C&E and Jagger best badger and makes for a nice change of pace.

Third straight day, first pass only...that first touch seems to give me trouble but after that I feel as if I am learning at every stroke...I like the Godrej Lime which I received as a sample as an extra during a transaction...it is very smooth and comfortable and lasts...a good result although I may be overdoing it as my skin feels a little irritated thought with no visible evidence...
