Thread: SOTD - Sun July 25th - Sat July 31st

I had very little to shave today. Still wanted to try. My first shot at Uberlather.
Hot shower prep
TAOS Preoil
Vestavia brush
Jasmine Puck soap
da Bomb SC
Glycerin
Started with Othello razor from the class. First shave with it. Wasnt doing the job.
Finished with W&B Razor with sambar stag scales.
SRD 3in Latigo Strop
Skin food
Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel
TAOS Balm

Amazing lather. Creamy, Great cushion. Im HOOKED!!!!! I havent used this puck soap in a long time. Forgot how great it smells. BBS couple spots need touch up. Mostly because of how short my stubble was.
DO YOU THINK I WILL HAVE ENOUGH GROWTH TO SHAVE IN THE AM???

1) I am glad that you are hooked on the uberlather

2) I am sorry about the Othello's shave ...Is it the razor or could it be the bevel/edge that's not sharp/polished enough?

Better shave next time...that's something to look forward to, heh?

Maybe I'd wait 'til Sunday...You will sure enjoy that shave...Something to be said about 1 day growth

Thank you! I expect a hard time shaving with such little growth. I havent given up on the Othello. I usually will give my self a couple days growth on a new razor. I just couldnt wait to shave.
Love it when i have 3-4 days of growth. Get the closest shaves then. I was just seeing how people shave everyday and figured i would try.

I hear that. I tried a shave 2 days, then 3 days and both weren't as good as a once a week shave. I'll keep experimenting to find the happy medium.
But I must be getting better because both times during the shave I didn't think it was going well, but afterwards when I unconsciously touch my face, I'm surprised how much better I did than I thought.

Wowww...first and foremost, I must say that you've got a very nice Fili . You inspired me to want to shave with one of mine soon.

Second...once a week shave? That must be torture to wait for the next shave . You don't turn into Grizzly Adams with 1 shave/week?

Thank you Bladerunner, and no I don't turn into Grizzly Adams after a week. I suspect my hair growth isn't as fast as some members here, but it isn't slow either. Waiting a week allows probably .5 cm of hair growth (just a guess) to be mowed down cleanly and effortlessly, leaving nothing but a refreshed face. Shaving hair more frequently requires more attention to technique to chop those insistent stubs barely poking above the surface.

nick, My face doesn't get itchy until the 2 week mark, or when I play with kittens.
