Thursday 5/14
- Ever Ready 100T boar
- Erasmic Shave Stick (tallow)
- Gillette Super Adjustable (4)
- Gillette 7OCB
- Thayer's A/F Original
- Anherb Gel
Result: My face was really rough after yesterdays ATG w/ a straight. Nice easy shave today, WTG/XTG, with Anherb Gel to help soothe. I probably should have used the conditioner instead.

Friday 5/15
- Ever Ready 100T boar
- Ogallala Bay Rum SS
- 7/8 (15/16? I can't remember - I really need to measure them and write it down..) Wade & Butcher Celebrated Hollowground
- Crystal Rock Deodorant as an alum block - need to get the real thing
- Thayer's A/F Original
- Master's Bay Rum
Result: I really over did it today with trying to get BBS....a lot of little blood spots around my mustache and goatee area. CWR stopped it mostly, but I decided to use the Crystal as an added step. It stung, but not terribly bad like I expected, and if that's worse than a real alum block... First time with the Master's - boy howdy does that have some alcohol! It stung worse than the Crystal! Awesome Bay Rummy day! It's been a long time since I've used the bay rum stuff....too long...
Enjoy the pic - I don't do it too often...

A brilliant shave. I think I'm getting the hang of this straight razor thing. Only one nick (which for me is a near miracle).
Hot Shower
Dovo Best Quality "Brutus" (When I get my second razor, I think it's almost necessary to name it Cassius)
TM Old School Latigo
Vulfix Pure Badger
Conks Bay Rum in my hand-thrown lather bowl
Styptic Pencil to the rescue!
Aaaaahhhh BBS.
