After 3 weeks I finally got to shave with a straight tonight. I was so excited I was nearly running down the hall to the bathroom. My face hasnt felt this good in 3 weeks either.
To say the last few weeks have been chaotic would be an understatement, My 2 year old son (he turns 3 on sunday) was diagnosed with Lukeamia 4 days before my wife gave birth to our second son. The whole family (now 6 of us) have been living in one room at a house set up for families with sick kids that we are sharing with about a dozen other families. We are about 400 miles from home and I just havent had the time or place to pull out the straights.
However I managed to get away with it tonight. My weapon of choice (i only grabbed 3 razors when I left) was a 6/8 Invicta Coronet. By normal standards it wasnt a great shave, the water was bearly warm and the lighting was terrible, but the razor was good and man it felt good to remove that 4 day growth with a straight.
Its good to be back.
