At one time I lived in Farmville, about an hour from Lynchburg. Very nice area but very few jobs.

Yeah, it is a 'scruffy' leather or fluffy leather. It is almost like suede. I like it very much. I am not sure I would use it as an everyday but I am still experimenting. I am using the TI paste on the brown side and leaving the black side plain. I have shaved a few times without going to my hanging strop. It seems to work ok. All and all, I like it for the esthetics too.

Nice relaxing Sunday morning, what better way to start.

First time I stepped in the bathroom with a straight in a looooong time today. Reason is, I took some pictures of my straights and decided it'd be fun. And since it has been a slow day, it things were not going as I wished, I could always change plans and won't be all upset for the rest of the day.

So, I picked my queen, gave it a few laps on the leather strop and gave it a go!



Did only the first cheek : it needs to meet with mister hone (it's been a long time since it has last seen a coticule). Oh well, I finished with my Merkur 37c loaded with an Astra SP, and got very close, very smoothly. It was so nice to get the feeling of the straight again. I'll certainly start to use my straights more often again.

By the way, shaving cream was Proraso, so was the pre-shave, and I finished with La Maison du Savon de Marseille AS Balm. Brush : Semogue 610.
