SOTD Oct 11
Prep: Hot towel
Strop: Paddle two sided on leather only
Cream: TOBS Sandalwood
Razors: Boker Edelweisse and Dovo Best Quality.
Astringent: Thayers Aloe Vera and Lemon
AS: Aqua Velva.
A two razor shave day: Honed the Boker on the Norton 4K/8K and polished with the Naniwa 10K stone. Test shave half my face. SWEET JESUS! the whiskers melted away. Finished the other half with the DOVO which I had already honed. Can't get over the creaminess of the TOBS, a keeper for sure. SHAVE ON.
