One advantage of retirement is the ability to take one's sweet time to shave. Brought out the Konig and paired it with the Cella which with the LE made a ton of great lather. I took on the trouble spots on my neck with my left hand and was able to touch up a couple of time successfully so I ended up with a marvelous shave. Now that I am using straights on a regular basis I am developing a better feel for it which feels like quite an accomplishment for me.

Thanks!!! Sounds like I need to try that!!!

Hot shower face scrub
Warm Crew oil
DB Scuttle
Trumpers SC
Torrey Celebrated Barbers Notch
SRD P1 Strop, 40 felt, 60 leather
AOS Aluminum
Osage Rub

New Stuff today. The Crew oil was pretty nice on the skin.

This was the first shave for me with the Torrey. If was freshly honed by Dylan. It gace a great shave and felt light in my hand. I really like the Barbers notch razors.
The Osage rub made my face feel very cool due to the menthol. As usual I used Vaseline for Men after which left my face very smooth. I'll do the BB Test later.
