This morning's shave:

Razor: Dovo 1/2 Hollow 5/8
Strop: steer hide 3" about 25 laps.
Brush: Crowley & Tosh silvertip
Pre-shave: Hot shower, Hot towel
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery G20
Face lather: Acqua di Parma
Alum block
After shave Balm: Acqua di Parma
Result: two passes, WTG & ATG, about as good as my old average cartridge shave.

The real improvement with this shave was the time it took -- I've cut way down. I'm moving with more confidence, and pressing a little harder on the WTG passes. This leads to an easier ATG pass.

Cheers,

Jack
