Location: 33° 27' 23.59" - 88° 47' 57.52" Elev: 389 ft. above sea level
Beard Prep: Hot Towel
Razor: Boker Rastus No 51
Brush: No Name Brand Badger Brush
Lather: Pre de Provence Soap/Cream Überlather
AS: Pinaud Clubman
Result: First shave that was completely BBS. Tried using the left hand to shave the left side of my face for the first time, resulted in a cut at the top of the sideburn before any actual shaving occurred. Turns out my left hand is good for nothing more than activating a turn signal. I actually haven't had and still didn't have any issues with using my right hand throughout the shave, so I think I'll just stick with that. Second time using Uberlather, it was much better this time and felt fantastic!

Place: Miami, FL - I think 10 feet above sea level.
Prep: Hot shower followed by Proraso Pre shave cream + plenty of hot water during the shave.
Soap/Cream: TOBS Sandalwood
Brush: Vulfix Badger 21 MM knot
Razor: DOVO Best Quality 6/8
Astringent/AS: Thayers Lemon + Old Spice.
After thoughts: The DOVO performed very well. No nicks, cuts or razor burn. Old Spice felt like a bunch of Habanero peppers going down the pipe, otherwise, I enjoyed the shave. SHAVE ON.
Nice shave :cool:
