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.
I concur with Dr. Ralfson's diagnosis...You're making good progress. Keep it up!
Hot Shower
TOBS Lavender Soap/Cream 3 drops Glycerine
24mm TGN Extra Hair Badger
