10-25-2010, 10:54 AM #64Prep: Hot shower
Scuttle: SRD
Brush: TGN Custom Silvertip
Uberlather: Mama Bears "Fall Leaves", Saint Charles Shave Unscented, 5 drops glycerin
Razor: Wade & Butcher "For Barber's Use"
After Shave: Masters Bayrum
Result: A close shave, with a little irritation.
I took the W&B to the hones last night, I think I need to completely reset the bevel or send this one out. I can't seem to get an even bevel on this one. I gave it the shave test and it was quite obvious that it is not there.
Have a great day gentlemen, you deserve it!

What a way to start the work week! Tried to bowl lather the Honeybee Essentials and wound up with a weak bubbly soap that wouldn't hold up on the face. As a result, the first pass was not the greatest at all. The blade felt like it was tugging (but I know it was just the lack of adequate prep because Glen put an outstanding edge on this baby when he restored her) and I knicked myself under the chin. For the second and third passes, I decided to face lather, and that is where this Semogue really shines. I found myself drowning in thick, rich lather and the blade suddenly seemed to glide around the face.
The scent of the rosewood cedar was perfect for a fall morning and the Le Labo fragrance never fails to set my mood right.
Have a great Monday, gentlemen!

Thanked: 2259
My kids are grown and gone with families of their own, but I try my best to keep the wife away while I'm shaving. Sometimes merely closing and locking the "shave cave" door is not enough, as she can talk through it, so my best shaves are when I have the house to myself.
I took a nick under the ear myself yesterday because my wife was home and talking while I was shaving.... I'm sometimes not a good listener..
Hope you heal soon, Mikael, and the little one feels much better!
