    SR #14
    Last shave of the month and the best SR shave thus far.
    My confidence is waxing and handling the razors has become more natural. I am using mostly
    the left/right hands for the corresponding sides, but there are times when I am more comfortable
    crossing over. So be it.
    The W&B's only "fault", IMO, is the razor is very loose at the pivot point, so it tends to open/close
    too easily. Maybe this is something I will have to address in the future. Might even replace the scales, as there is a chip and
    someone named "Rickard" had the audacity to have his name inscribed in the scales.
    The nerve of him!
    Cella...yummy, almond, marzipan scent. This tub is from the 1kg chunk.
    Nice lather with a modicum of slickness.
    Reasonable post-shave.
    Gotta get back to work, but it was nice getting in a shave this afternoon.
    See you all in the funny papers...and if not, on the February 30DC thread.    ​

    Great to hear the positive reviews. I tossed a 98 in the cart yesterday to put me over the top for free shipping from IB. If I don't like the handle the knot will replace the shedding tgn boar in my switchback.

    If you were @BaylorGator's teacher, Joe, then you'd be up to two packs a day, unfiltered. :happy097:

    The most heralded SR technique is using the same hand on the side of the face when you go WTG and opposite hand during ATG and XTG. The same applies when shaving the neck. I learned to SR shave in this manner. However, I don't have a problem with anyone using their dominant hand for every different pass. Sometimes, I use my dominant hand (right-hand) on my left cheek going WTG just to change it up. Whatever way anyone wants to use a SR to get a nice shave is fine by me.

    Jan 30 shave

    Blood on steel soap and splash by Jeeves
    Jayaruh 175 slugger brush

    After a long day of being off work from the cold and taking my free time to do some of the honey do list around the house. After dinner I decided to refresh the edge on this razor and did a test shave. It provided a nice almost bbs 2 pass shave. I was going to go for a third but there was a lot of commotion from the kids being loud and excited about having a second day off school in a row. 9599F212-4445-42A1-A561-6E26D7B2B181.jpeg

    Randy (@BaylorGator) new glasses are important, moving someone from the back of a classroom to the front may be going a little time far. :)

    That is a scent I want to have. I have a sample of the aftershave but it looks like they stopped making the soap. Hope things went good on the trip over this way.
