No picture today as I was in a bit of a hurry this morning. Too much of a hurry really, as for the third time in the last two weeks I managed to cut one of my fingers on this blade. Twice when honing it and this morning I somehow managed to do a bit of damage to my thumb as I was trying to close the razor. I felt quite stupid after it happened.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Shavemac D01 23 mm three band
Razor: Bengall by T R Cadman and sons
Soap: Castle Forbes Lime
AS: Ogallala Limes and Peppercorns
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
On of my top shavers and one of my two or three best Sheffield razors, wonderful shave!

THURSDAY
Hot shower prep
Soap: LIDER
Mug: Face Lathered
Brush: generic 22mm mixed badger
Razor: Unknown Gillette DE
Aftershock: alum block
Splash: TARR
After last night's joy of redoing most of my online accounts, a good pleasant shave was in order.

Today: Very quiet, snowed last night and about 6 inches,150mm is on the ground. wind is picking up and driving will be no fun. The Shave: One of the most comfortable I have received from a DE! DFS in two passes and a touch. Very close with no abrasion. No sting with the alum block or the splash.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!
