Long time since I shaved this way:
Hot shower
Canned Goo...(very gooey)
Gillette multi-blade
Aramis
Not bad, very quick. No enjoyment.
Have a great day.

No pic today.
Fast three pass shave with a Gillette aristocrat travel/7 o'clock yellow/castle Forbes Lime/ 21mm travel brush.
First time I have ever face lathered in three years of str8's and DE. Interesting and functional but less enjoyable then a scuttle. Not bad for an 03f$&@ing hundred shave after getting to sleep at 0100. Oh the joys of command!!!

This is another one i honed. Same stones as before but with a slurry. I think i might like it better without the slurry. 2 passes. Smooth and no irritation.

I was out on the river again this morning. There wasn't much of a bite, but I caught a shad and had a nice day out.
