Thursday 4/30
- Ever Ready 100T Boar
- Irisch Moos Shave Stick
- 6/8 Boker Piccadilly
- Thayer's A/F Original
- Pitralon Polar
Result: Yeah, I should have quit while I was ahead. Three days in a row with a straight was a bit too much, not to mention that I was a bit rushed this morning. A few small nicks just under my lower lip on my right side (the area between where a mustache would grow down into the goatee and the "soul patch" - it's bald anyway, why was I shaving it?) A little burn crept up throughout the day, too. Not digging the Pitralon Polar - the Floid Blue is much better IMO. Oh well, the next few days I'll be DEing it until my face heals up...

Had a nice Sunday shave today with my Boker "Good as Gold"
Usually I like using TGQ cavendish just as is, but today I wanted to try adding a bit of Uber to my regular routine! Today I went with TGQ Uber Rum (TGQ bay rum soap, shot of KMF, a touch of glycerine)
Started with a hot shower (used a cheap boar brush and some crap burts bees shave soap to scrub my face during the shower- it was kind of nice:D).
Hot uberlather
Gave the Boker 50 laps on TM Latigo
