Sent some pretty rough old razors to SirStropAlot. Howard called last night and said they'd be here today. He was right on the money. Wandered out to the mailbox and it was like Christmas time again. He did an awesome job of straightening out some some very tired old razors.

Sat there looking at them and trying to decide which to use first. Thought to myself, USE 'EM ALL!!

Prep; Washed face with hot water and soap
Soap; Van Der Hagen straight from Wallace World's Men's Shaving Boutique and superstore to people of Wal-Mart.......
Brush; Old KLENZO from Rexall, boar.
Razors; Harrison Bro's and Howe, Joseph Rodgers, W&B Celebrated, I*XL Washington Works.
Post shave; styptic pencil and witch hazel.


Results; Friday afternoon massacre! LOL
Everything was going great decided to get just ONE LAST PASS across lower lip. Bad move. It'll grow back. Called Howard and we had a good laugh.

Lesson learned. Try 'em one at time next go around.
