Up early this morning to drive my bride up to the Redneck Riviera (Navarre) to visit her cousin. She gets to hang out for a few days but my son and I are coming right back because of work committments. So the condensed version is I'll spend about 15 hours today driving or sitting in a car. To say I am less than enthusiastic about the project is probably putting it nicely but hey, happy wife, happy life, right?

First time using the RazoRock shave cream. Easy to lather and leaves a nice slick shaving surface. The Semogue LE badger is performing well although still in the break in period.

Brought out the Wosty, my first Sheffield steel razor and paired it with the French soap for a fine shave. I touched it up on my barber's hone following the shave as I felt a little tug here and there during the shave. Finished up with the German based Speick after shave products which always do a good job. And today will be better than yesterday.

A very leisurely shave this morning.

The picture is fine. Besides, what is important is the quality of the shaving experience. Sounds like you did good.
