No pic today, as life has just not left me the time. I'm lucky to get to view the forums here lately! I am sure enjoying the money, the security and the sense of satisfaction my new job is bringing me, but I have been earning every dollar they are paying me. I haven't worked this hard in years. It's good for me, and I'm starting to get back into the swing after completing my first month and a half.

No shave since last Friday, same as Bill, and I find that a shave after letting the face rest for several days always comes out excellent. Today's was no exception and I got a fantastic, smooth shave.

Glad the job/work is going well. There are only a few things more satisfying than a nice hot shower and good shave after a days work, but we cannot discuss the others on this forum.

I agree about how letting the face rest a few days allows for a really sensational shave. Glad you enjoyed your shave.

Enjoy the day!!

Wednesday

An adequate, but not great, shave with the Jernbologet this morning. I hadn’t shaved yesterday and noticed some tugging this morning. I’ll need to give the edge a little more work, I think. The Mike’s natural soap lathered easily, and the scent of the soap lingered all day. I’m getting used to this scent; it’s interesting, I wasn’t sure if I really liked it at first. I splashed Bay Rum scented liquids on myself lavishly with utter disregard for modesty and reason.


Razor: Jernbologet | Soap: Mike’s Natural | After Shave: D.H.Harris Bay Rum | Hair Tonic: Pashana Bay Rum

This is just one of those razors. I bought it a couple years back at a local antique store. I'd been keeping an eye on it for quite a while and when it became obvious it wasn't going anywhere for $35 I haggled them down to $17 and left with it in my hand. It started with a decent bevel and a fair edge but a few quick laps on the stone and it was scary sharp. It holds a great edge and when it starts to tug, a few quick laps on the stone and a good stropping puts it right back in the ball game. Great razor!

Prep: Quick touch up hone, warm shower
Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: VDH
AS: Skin Bracer
Finish: La Toja Manantiales AdC
Results: First pass was just North/South. After a cold water rinse, I applied some Baby Oil Gel and touched up the usual spots (although there was certainly not much left)

I think I have the exact same model razor, but I broke the scales on mine trying to tighten the pins. I have to agree with you that it is a fantastic shaver!

Come to think of it, I really wanted to shave with this one today and realized that it is out on "loan" so I can get some help with my honing skills...I miss it already LOL.
