Interesting shave today...LAZY day today so I didn't shave until 4 pm. Stropped up my TI (my first straight. I purchased it from TAOS before I new too much about straights. I never had it honed and it always "pulled" when I used it so it's never been my "favorite" blade. I purchased a balsa strop loaded with Chrom Ox and a felt strop with diamond paste. I stropped it and it made a HUGE difference!). I purchased a puck of Williams a few months back when out of town, used it once and HATED it. When I got home, I put it in a small bowel with and put what was left of some Jack Black cream (never one of my favorites either) I had after cleaning out the container. I stuck it in a drawer and basically forgot about it. I decided to give it a second chance today, and WOW, it whipped up a huge scuttle of lather. I planned a one pass shave, instead, went two passes -- WTG & ATG = practically BBS. I knew the razor was great, but it's really a joy to use now that it's been properly stropped/refreshed, but the Williams/Jack Black was a great surprise! I might add some Proraso Cream next time.

Wishing everyone a great week!!!

Now that most of our proposals are out, I am ready for some mental R&R (for a few days, at least) and hopefully spending a few days with your ugly mugs .

Nice to be back! Army and work have left little time for taking pic's. Still shaving but little time for catching up with ya all. I see Robert is back also! Good timing brother! Good shave today and does it ever go bad with an Amouage Attar?
