Good day. Thought I would try something a bit more radical today and shave with a King Midas.. Great shave. Tip Top. It will be a couple days before my next shave is needed.
The Mike’s Natural Soaps is wonderful stuff. Lathers up very nice with excellent glide and moisture retention. Finished off with a nice hot towel wrap and face massage with the Thayer’s lavender witch hazel. Pat dry and dust my mug with some talcum. Lovely lovely.

No shave today. Lazy Sunday in So. Fla. Don't want to post another Gillette/Canned goo SOTD. Enjoy the day.

After working far too many hours, experiencing major computer issues and having my son borrow my dSLR, I am finally back for at least one day.

Tried the new to me Boker Red Injun No101 this morning. Received it yesterday. Cleaned and Honed it last nite. Very nice razor. Nice shave.

Gentlemen, in case you decide to forgo the daily shave, remember what Thomas Fuller, M.D., said in 1732:

"'Tis not the beard that makes the philosopher."

Very Little irritation today and overall comfortable two pass shave! It was not perfect. I did not get my neck as well as I would liked. But very enjoyable moment. The jojoba also seems to be helping with the ingrown hairs.

I was forsed to stay at my parents home for the second night and don't have strop or second razor, that's why I shaved with the same razor. I make only one pass and was surprised how smoth was shave with unstropped W&B
