Notes: Brilliant shave tonight, slow, relaxing and comfortable. I read once that someone tried to explain the straight razor shave to the un-initiated describing it as a "spa for men". I think that's the feeling I got Touched up on a Llyn Melynllyn, performed exellently.

Monday morning:
Boker 6/8 King Cutter
Badger brush
Anthony's Gold Shave Cream
Thayer's
Anthony's Gold Red Cedar AS
Nivea ASB
L'Occitane Vetyver cologne
I've struggled a bit with this Boker in the past, getting nicked up the last few times I used it. Stropped it 100 laps on my SRD Latigo and then gave it 10 laps on the back side, which is pasted with CrOx.
Trmenedously comfortable shave today. The Boker was very smooth and very sharp this morning.
The Anthony's SC is a real winner, with terrific glide and protection. I also rally enjoy the cedar scent of the AS.
