    Prep: Hot Shower

    Not my best shave yet, but nice. The lather was awesome, however. I was hoping to try some uberlather, but it seems that I live in the land without glycerin. 3 stores and not a single one with glycerin.

    I think I was rushing things or something... just didn't feel right (which is kinda fitting since this whole week has felt "off"). The new Thater brush was FANTASTIC, and I think, after learning some more on it, this razor will turn out to be one of my favorites.

    Thanks! I've been getting them with help from a DE (and I've been able to get BBS shaves with a DE for quite some time now), but this was the first with just a straight! I've been using a straight (not exclusively) since April, so I'm happy.

    Good morning! Today's shave:

    Dovo Best 6/8 (15 webbing / 50 leather)
    Badger brush
    L'occitane Cade SS
    Thayer's
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue
    Nivea ASB
    GF Trumper's Spanish Leather Cologne

    Decent shave today- a bit of irritation on my neck, but overall, pretty good.

My two days of growth absolutely melted before this razor. After one pass, I could have stopped and been near BBS all day long. But that's not what we do here! i lathered up for a second blissful pass and was left totally BBS. I truly wanted to keep going, because it was just such a great shave, but realized there was nothing left to shave. So, I lathered up a third time and just let the intoxicating smell of the suds linger on my skin. What a Wednesday!
    Congratulations Bill! The EPBD is gorgeous. What a generous gift!!
