First shave since the 15th! Was rocking the scrappy dirty look lol! Was in a hurry so only a 1 pass today. Found out I had some warping on the razor blade. Gave it some special attention on the Coti and got the best shave I have ever had out of it!

This morning was the smoothest shave I have had since I started using the straight! I had one small nick on the cheek it barely bled and closed with cold water splash.

Sorry no Pic today

Monday Monday....

So, after yesterday's less-than-stellar shave with my self-honed Morley (the learning curve reminds me of Alpe d'Huez i.e S T E E P) I went for a gentle two-pass shave today:

Razor: Boker King Cutter 6/8
Brush: Badger
Cream: Trumper Coconut
After: Thayer's / Aqua Velva Ice Blue / Nivea ASB

My face feels much better today. Still a bit red and sore from yesterday - but healing. I'll re-hone the Morley and see if I can get a better edge before I try it again.
