Sometimes on Sunday, I save the shave until the end of the day. A final "fair well " to the weekend. I find it to be a tremendously relaxing and rewarding way to end the weekend (Monday can be so rushed in the morning that I fear I would not get to enjoy the shave). I have been shaving lately with a Wostenholm Pipe razor. To change things up, I got out my "Livi New Grind" (I refer to it as "The Verticoli"). The blade is quite a bit heavier than the wostenholm, and not being used to the weight, I received 2 knicks. Note to self: Use this razor more to avoid these issues. I often find that I will save my Ultra-nice items for "special" things. This holds true for razors, guitars, clothes, guns, etc. Anyone else do this? Anyhow, it was a great shave anyway.
Pre-shave: Hot shower, rubbed face with tea tree and peppermint conditioner.
Strop: Rup Razor 50 leather.
Razor: Maestro Livi New Grind 6/8
Brush: TGN Grade A Premium Silver Badger in Custom Cherry Handle
Scuttle: SRD
Cream: AOS Sandalwood
Shave: WTG, XTG, ATG. Hot water rinse between each pass. Cold water splash, 2 Dabs of stiptic pencil. AOS Sandalwood aftershave balm to finish.
Result: Smooth and relaxing!
Straight shaving makes me feel like I truly can "suck the marrow out of life".
Have a great week Gentlemen!:beer2:
