Thread: Sun July 03rd - Sat July 09th

All 3 kids slept till 8:30, which means mom&dad did, too. Felt great! Hot shower and intense facial scrub was the perfect exposition to my shave.

Pre-shave: pure glycerin, rubbed all over.
Soap: AOS sandalwood
Brush: AOS pure badger
Strop: 200 latigo, straight from the Swaty
Razor: Frank Revitt 7/16 smiling French-pointed hollow in original horn
Astringent: Alum block
Balm: Shave Butter

Retouched this razor last night on the backside of my Swaty and stropped it to death immediately afterward. Only thing I don't like about the razor is the lack of tang behind the scales for my ring-finger. My sausages are on the larger side, and it doesn't feel as comfortable as my other razors. Otherwise, I love it to death. It's barely a hollow-grind, so it has that wonderful feeling of a wedge. You know, the feeling of just wiping away lather and being uncertain if you're actually shaving, but after touching your skin you feel buttery smooth? Yeah, that goodness.

I face-lathered for the first time today, right on top of the glycerin and it came out beautifully. Might do that more often as a time-saving option.

God, I love shaving.

Does that mean that when I visit Miami I can share some quality time with Hog if I bring a Boker or a Henckels in trade?

Sorry, my Wackers are off-limits.

Beautiful TI, rum! Does she shave like a dream? Just a touch up, or full progression?
