    Morning Gents,

    Nice sleepy one-pass shave this morning in misty So Cal:
    A few passes on an Illinois 361 strop
    Warm water splash followed with some unscented AOS preshave oi
    Slow face-lather with AOS unscented cream
    Careful once-over pass using my favorite, Dovo Pearlex stainless #41 razor
    Five drops of AOS unscented balm
    Hot cup of Kona coffee while greeting the sunrise

    Have a good day all,
    Jeff

    Nice razor. Congrats.

    As for the shaving cream...I think you now know why shaving cream out of a can may not be the best choice for a straight razor shave.

    Next time you're in a hurry, grab your trusty shave soap stick--Arko, Irisch Moos, LaToya, Speick, Tabac, or Valobra. They're just as quick and deliver a quality shave.
