Thread: Sun - March 17th - Sat March 23rd

Prep: 5k run, Hot Shower
Razor: 5/8 Wosty Pipe
Cream: T&H Trafalgar
Brush: AOS Fine Badger
A/S: Pinaud Clubman

Result: I was about half way through the shave when I realized I forgot to strop the razor. I could not tell if it made a difference, although that first stroke did seem to have a hint or harshness. Oh well, I still got a great shave. The brush was a gift from my wife over a year ago, and the razor was a gift from my son last father's day. Both always perform well.

Good Tuesday to you all!

The Zen shave. Kids in bed. The house silent. No music. Just me, the razor and the forces of nature guiding my hand. A very clean shave. The AK1869 is a very Zen scent in its own right. Pure bliss.
