Very smooth and comfortable shave today. The Skin Food worked very well with the AdP shaving cream. Eight hours after shaving and my bathroom still smells like heaven!!

Sunday 4/26
- Penchetta Penworks Redwood Burl Silvertip
- Irisch Moos Shave Stick
- 6/8 W&B Special Razor
- Thayer's A/F Original
- Austrian Pitralon Original
Result: First time shaving 2 days in a row with a straight. I think it turned out quite well. Same WTG/XTG, no nicks, burn, nor irritation. Things are looking and feeling good!
Not sure about the Austrian Pitralon - does the job well, but I'm not sold on the scent yet, although as it wears it is growing on me...

Monday 4/27
- No brush, only hands
- Gillette Shave Cream in a can
- Gillette Mach 3
- W&S Lightly Mentholated balm
Result: Got held over at work this morning (pulling a 24).... I need to make a little kit to keep here at work. Even though I shave so infrequently here, I'd still like to do it right. I wouldn't call it a bad shave...well, yeah, I would. I didn't want to "mash and pull" so I applied the DE/Straight rule of no pressure. I did remove some stubble in one WTG pass, but I'd hardly call it acceptable. It's going to have to be, though, because I won't do any more. I tell you, I felt rather barbaric squirting the cream into my hand and then rubbing it all over my face.... The brush really adds a whole other level to this shaving thing...
