    sfcablecar,

    Glad to know that the larger square point twin to my aqua blue scales Filly #12 Doble Temple round point found a good home. I know that the shave was one to remember. Congratulations.

    Sunday night

    Prep: Hot Shower
    Apparatus: USA Special, Edwin Jagger DE89 with German Wilkinson Sword Blade - for tidy up
    Brush: Vulfix 2235 Super Badger
    Soap: Erasmic Shavebowl soap
    Post: Alum Block and Azzarro EDT

    5th Str8 shave tonight and my stropping technique must have improved as it was much smoother than the 4th. Working out what works and how to handle the below jaw line area, and gradually developing muscle memory.

    The tidy up was needed but not as much as previously, found it easier to maintain a good angle but the left hand work still felt weird!

    2 nicks with the str8 and a couple of weepers from the DE.
