    Thank you, Chris!
    I realized that when you relax and enjoy your shave, by getting into the ritual, smelling the wonderful scents, etc, the results are much better.

    That's what appeals to me most. Open blades focus my mind and calm my nerves.

    Congrats, Robert! You must have a quick growing, heavy beard to shave with a straight every day. In my case, I could still be socially acceptable at 36 hours. Also, my beard is gray and white so maybe that helps me in that regard. Anyway, kudos to you! I have enjoyed your posts. Now, continue on to your second 100 shaves!

    Yes, I did indeed, Clint! The Daniel Rodriquez concert was awesome. It also helps that I was celebrating one of my lady friend's birthday! Last night, I at a jazz concert and the band was awesome. Today, I just relaxed, worked out, etc. I hope your weekend was great as well!

    It is great for me to clear my mind before I start my day. Since I can't meditate straight razor shaving calms my nerves.

    Monday Shave:

    Since I shave later than usual on Sundays, Monday's shave is usually with a saftey razor, with less than 24 hours between shaves I usually do not get the best results from a straight. Today I opted to with one of my Wosty big blades because it was refreshed on the stones yesterday. I can get a nice edge on this blade but not at the same level as my other blades, I will need to keep experimenting.

    Irritation A+ Closeness A- Smoothness A Sharpness A

    Razor: George Wostehnholme 7/8
    Strop: Roo
    Brush: Etsy silver tip
    Pre: Nivea
    Soap: Crowne and Crane
    AS: Enhanced Florida Water AS, Speick ASB
    Scent: Dior Fahrenheit

    Thank you for asking Joe. I did have a relaxing weekend here at home. My wife and I spend the day running errands and had a very nice dinner out.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    I like a little scritch when using a horse. My Vie Long 12601 is 35/65. I've been looking for a 25/75 and have a couple of options. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet.
