I must have peeled away several layers of skin and I think I bled more than I have in my entire 15+ years of straight shaving combined. You know it's bad when the alcohol free witch hazel burns worse than Clubman. I guess it's time for a break from shaving for a few days to heal up.

OUCH! Thats suck. Hope you heal fast!

Awesome Wednesday morning shave!



Prep: Hot Shower + Woodys Exfoliating Pre Shave Wash + Musgo Pre Shave Oil
Brush: Vulfix Super Badger
Scuttle: DB 1.5
Suds: MWF
Razor: Hart 6/8 Round Point in Red Oak
Post: Alum + Thayers WH/Aloe
AS: Floid Blue
ASB: Baxter
Result: The Hart never fails to deliver. DFS in the 1st pass and I really only did the 2nd pass for touch ups but was having fun jamming to music and did the whole face for poops and giggles!
Tunes: The Pogues

Its Wednesday boys, the weekend is just around the corner...hang tight!

A great shave today. Not perfect but how often is it really? Very comfortable and just a few "shorties". Off to play with guns!

Good evening Gents!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
Razor: Thiers-Issard 'Le Dandy', 6/8 hollow round point
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Rhómme home made splash, earthy spicy floral fragrance with a touch of citrus on top.
Notes: Touched up the edge on a Dragon's Tongue before tonight's shave. I have to admit, this shave was more like going through the motions rather than a full blown shave. After yesterday's exeptional shave there was not much stubble, and under normal conditions I might not have bothered with a shave at all tonight. Still, I got hones to test, so I solider on The dragon's tongue delivers a nice smooth edge, not super sharp but more than adequate. 2 comfortable passes back to full BBS.



Have a great evening!

Yikes man! I love the Pogues, but I would not begin to dare shaving to them. Too much jamming and a little giggles, before you know it you are singing along and.. ups I just can't stand still to that stuff. I'd slice my goatee off. Or worse
