Tuesday 4/28

• Penchetta Penworks Redwood Burl Slivertip
• Irisch Moos Shave Stick
• 6/8 Boker Edelweiss
• Thayer's A/F Original
• Swiss Pitralon

Result: Very nice shave today. Didn't like the smell of the Swiss Pitralon as I was putting it on - so much so that I dumped the rest of the decant. Haha, jokes on me...as it settles, it's turning out to be a not-so-unpleasant scent. Great skincare, too.

Wednesday 4/29

• Ever Ready 100T Boar
• Irisch Moos Shave Stick
• 6/8 W&B Special Razor
• Thayer's A/F Original
• Pitralon Fresh @ Work

Result: Yeah, this straight shaving thing is really starting to come together for me. Second day in a row, DFS 2 pass WTG/XTG. Maybe just the slightest hint of irritation, but I think the A/S cleared it up. Tomorrow, day 3!! If tomorrow feels rough, I'll take a day or two off, back to the DE.... One shave at a time!

Out of a little over two years of wetshaving and a little over two months of straight shaving, I had officially THE BEST SHAVE I've EVER had!

Holy crap, and I thought a Merkur Slant got me BBS! This is above and beyond. I never thought my face could be this smooth.

The kicker? I lost my strop, so I stropped on newspaper . Hey, it works! It's what I did before I got my first strop, and I guess it's what I'll have to do until I can afford another one

Good Wednesday morning all...

Geneva Cutlery/ '51 Black Tip w/ Astra (6)

Thayers Original WH w/aloe
SCS Mediterranean Citrus after shave splash

First shave with the Geneva was uneventful and comfortable with the MWF. It felt easy to handle in my hand and by really stretching my skin, it glided fairly smoothly throughout the shave. Finished with the '51 Black Tip and I'm good to go.
