A nice, quick early morning kamisori shave. This crazy week is almost over and I'm sitting on a train instead of a plane due to bad weather. Out of town meetings should ot be scheduled on Fridays. Hopefully I'll get some time and clarity to finish my half-written Noob Chronicle post. SWMBO continues to be well, though between our dog being sick and SWMBO Jr having nightmares, there's been very little sleep. We need a weekend!

I've half a mind to install a mirror there so I can shave in the bath. Oh well, grooming had to happen at the sink. I still felt 100% better going into that shave. I felt better still coming out of it. Might be old fashioned of me but I like taking my time and attending to the process.

Good part with the ammo we used, if you missed, the muzzle flash would burn the hair off the critter.

Still have to decide on the soap, I guess Colleen's Desert Iron Wood (my bowl is running empty) will do just fine!
Can't wait

This is true and I can speak from experience.

430am
Stephan cream has been a good pre-shave. Thx Mvcrash!
Nomad soap-- almost at bottom
Emperor 2band
Dovo strop 60 on leather, my stropping has kicked up a notch
Blue Steel Special
Ran out of time had to finish with de
Thayers, weleda, lotion

Lather kept drying on me. Frequent relathering didn't help. Some razor burn, one nick + 2 nicks from DE w new feather. Next shave I will strop linen, and add more water to lather.

I count myself a fairly brave man, but the thought of shaving in the bath really scares me.
Lots of soap and water, wet hands, slippery scales = accident waiting to happen. Dun'do it!
