I was going to pull a Fuzzy and run naked through the room, but I had a sharp object in my hand, and that seemed like a bad idea.
28 pages on April 4th????
I have been very busy at work and home. For March I used the shavette
@Bama Samurai sent me, and kept an actual focus going for most of the month using the big boar brush, Shark blades, and Black Ship Grooming Co Queen Anne’s Revenge soap and splash. The shavette requires respect and a very light touch. I have been straight razor shaving for several years, and still had a couple of very bloody shaves. Chris sent 16 Shark blades and 16 Dorco blades with the shavette. I currently have one Shark blade left. I decided that I am going to keep up my focus until I either finish the blades or the software. Or until May starts.

My two shaves for April have been great. Both three pass shaves. I have started muting the tips of the razor blade on the side of the stone countertop. I also strop the blade on horsehide for about 20 laps to mellow it out a bit. The last six shaves have been consistently low grade DFS, with one high grade DFS. Because I can’t use any pressure on this razor, I don’t get as close of shaves in some areas. It also takes a little longer to shave with than a straight, and about twice as long as a DE shave. I want to keep my focus going mainly to see how the light touch I have had to use on this razor affects my shaves with straights and DEs. When I started Straight razor shaving, the skills from it made my most aggressive DE razors easy to use. I’m hoping this will do that to my Straight skills.
Below is my most updated list of soaps finished. Please message me if I missed any of yours.
