The norm perhaps, but ho-hum? Never. After three years, it's still what gets me up in the morning.

I'm pretty getting this every day now. I do one WTG pass, relather, ATG pass, and the result is wonderful. I imagine i touch up a spot or two but it goes so easily I actually forget.

Needed for this to work: a wicked-sharp razor. I used a 7-day set honed by Lynn Abrams as my standard for my own honing, and have about 10 razors I've honed myself that aren't up to Lynn's standard, but accomplish a nice 2 pass nearly BBS shave every day. It's now just what I expect, so I like JAS!

And...by the way... ALL straight-razor shaving is Bad-A$$-Shaving!

Someone asked why I do this...and "It's just so bad-a$$" is what came to my lips. I'm a clergyman, which made it a bit shocking!

That's a sermon I can get behind!

Thank you so much for all your feedback. Truthfully, I enjoyed them almost as much as the shave! Special thanks to Utopian for the bad-ass comment of the day!

He preferred cigars to women? It would explain all the boy scout stuff.
