Rooney small style 1
Harris Arlington soap
6/8 John Clarke & Son rt
Taylor's Bay Rum

This morning I honed up my Clarke & Son like I did the W&B yesterday. Lathered up and got a beautiful shave, but nicked the blade on the spigot when I rinsed. I backhoned it hard on my arkansas stone to try and force some of the steel back into position, then took it back to the norton. See how it shaves tomorrow, I reckon.

Friday 4:20 pm

my boys were asleep when i stropped, but woke up for the shave.

kabeso stainless razor (still haven't measured size)
tony miller strop
synthetic brush
williams mug soap

i no longer ever use the razor bent. scales and blade remain inline, so i never touch the tang. it's just easier for me. it took a while to learn it with my left hand, but now with both hands i find i hold the blade almost effortlessly and simply brush the hair from my face. it's awesome.

like RichZ said, i love shaving. sometimes i do it when i don't need to. it's become therapeutic.
