Konig Silver Steel 223 6/8
Omega #30265 Boar
Arko stick
Dickinson's WH
444 a/s balm
Floid Vigoroso a/s
Woods of Windsor Edt

Pulled the Konig from the drawer, wiped off the Ballistol and stropped it without a nick...I think I'm finally getting it...<whew>...and worked up a decent lather with the Arko. I was able to get one good pass but I found the Konig catching a bit by my jawline and WTG on my neck as well. I must be left eye dominant because I have difficulty seeing the blade when I shave the right side of my face, but no trouble at all seeing it on my left side of my face (using my left hand). I wonder if others experience something like this. Decided to finish up with the Gem Featherweight/Pella and after the witch hazel I worked some 444 and Floid together. Finished with the WoW which I wish was not discontinued.

Forgive me, I have sinned, after 3 years of shaving with nothing but a straight, I relapsed and used a double edge safety razor.

12:00 am this morning:

unknown silvertip
williams mug soap
gold gillette tech
alum block
brut a/s

3 passes, bbs. I wanted to try out the shave set I inherited from my Uncle, but I didn't have any blades to fit the razor (persona cartridges), so I dug out an old safety razor to use with it. The Gillette isn't pictured. The set is brass and chrome. The brush has a large brass knob on top so soaking the brush isn't quite like any other brush I own. It is so top heavy that while soaking it falls flat. It might work better in a scuttle, which I'll try next time I use it.

freebird,

You are forgiven...
