Damn Fine Shave

[Alembic]

Friends,

This morning I shaved with a Wade and Butcher Spike Point that I restored while at Lynn's house. Did 60 laps on my Latigo strop. Showered and used a wash cloth soaked in hot water to soften my beard. Cream was Proraso in my G5 Scuttle.

I made WTG, XTG and ATG passes with a light clean-up with an EJ DE89L and Derby blade. Finished with Alum Block, Cold Water, Dominica Bay Rum, and finally Barclay & Crocker Bay Rum VitE balm.

The result was the best shave I have ever had in my life. No weepers, no burning, no stinging upon applying the Alum. And, just the smoothest shave ever.

After three months, I think my techniques combined with my skin breaking in are all coming together nicely.

I wish I had a son to pass this down to.
