Quiet afternoon shower and shave.
Hot Shower
Warm oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Boar Brush
Attempted Uber lather with La Toja, Stephan's Shave Cream and glycerine
Dovo Prima Silver Steel
30 Laps on 12K, 15 laps on Crox, 100 laps leather
AOS Aluminum
Pinaud Bay Rum
Vaseline for me.
I totally screwed up on the shave cream. It was just thin, runny and ugly. I was able to get a really nice shave since the Dovo was just off a refresh and it was sharp and smooth. The shave stuff (won't call it soap or cream) was really ugly but pretty slick so the blade glided along pretty well.
All in all a nice afternoon shave that I enjoyed. It was topped off by my youngin arriving home after work and providing me with a great hug and smile.

Thanks Matt. The MDC and Endymion Is a bit of a fave uber' for me. Great scent and just gobs of silky lather! I always feel guilty about pouring the rest down the drain... Originally Posted by thewatermark

Thanks Jeff. The scar is still pink but it is closed so I was able to just gently move around it. Originally Posted by Mvcrash
