Pretty good shave, no cuts! Two passes WTG and some touch up on the chin with the straight. Picked up an awesome little loom strop, Gillette Tech fat handle and a gold Ball End Tech yesterday for FREE from one of my regular spots. Tried a pass on the chin with both of them, but felt guilty... The loom strop seemed to have more "draw" I guess than the hanging one I have, as the hanging one is soft but very slick. Pretty close shave, still some stubble, not able to stretch quite right on the chin yet, but it looks ok from a distance.

Prep>>Hot shower + Proraso pre-shave cream. I skipped the Friday shave just to built a two-day growth of stubble which I fed to a hungry Dorko.
Razor>>Dorko 300 8/8 round point.
Stropping>>SRD Red Latigo and webbed fabric 30/30 nice draw, the bevel sparkled as I turned the blade on its spine.
Soap/cream>>Tubed Erasmic. This is a nice coconut base cream/soap? which I am running out of

Razor: Schuzle Weyer Original 7/8
Brush: Shavemac 177 ~ The type without the ability to talk, next time I'll order mine from Ralfyville.
Lather: SRD Bulgarian Rose Soap
Aftershave: Spanish Floid

First time with a face lathering and I quite enjoyed it. I have always had a problem with soaps, as far as loading the brush up, lathering in my scuttle and running out of lather. By eliminating the scuttle, a lot of lather becomes stuck to the sides of the scuttle, I had plenty of lather for the shave. The downside is the not having a warm lather.
