Sun March 18th - Sat March 24rd

Prep:	Hot Shower / Rise Baby Face Shave Gel Rub
Razor:	6/8 Clauss
Hones:	50 felt / 100 Horsehide / 100 chestnut cowhide
Brush:	24mm Silvertip
Uber:	Od Spice Original Shaving Soap in Old Spice Mug
AS:	Alum Block + Old Spice Original
Edc:	Old Spice Cologne
Result:	The shave wasn't so great today, I think I managed to roll the edge stropping last shave. I used it 2 days ago and it was wonderful. I thought maybe the lather was at fault, but no. I must have done something to it stropping, that's all I can think of. I finished up my last 2 passes with my Mandarin 4/8 and it was blazingly smooth and keen and the lather was wonderful. 3 passes and DFS. I'm taking the Clauss back to the hones as soon as I finish posting. I'm sure glad I have learned more about honing, because I love this razor. Classic Old SPice is a wonderful change, going back in time to a period when I had one AS and One EdT.

By the look of it Rosie the Labrador could tell that the edge of Kukri was past its best on needed re-honing. That said the shave was very acceptable and I guess its the kind of edge past generations would have used much of the time as they eked the time between sending them out to be honed.

Speaking of a Clauss 6/8...

Fantastic shave today.

I've taken the day off to stay home with my daughter who's a bit under the weather with a cold.
And that gave me plenty of time for a relaxing shave;)

Today I decided to go with a freshly honed Mastro Livi. It performed very well, I'm always amazed by how super-sharp this blade gets.
Today's software was all Truefitt and Hill 1805. Cream, ASB and Cologne.
The Chubby whipped up some delicious suds!

All in all, another stellar shave:)
