    Todays shave was very similar to yesterdays, except a little bit closer. I think i reopened the same weeper i had yesterday or got a new one right next to the old, no irritation at all.

    Have a nice day!

    Great progress, Daniel!
    I think we all get the occasional weeper or two. As time passes they will become more of a rarity.

    Good morning, guys!
    Straight Razor Shave #105
    Wostenholm 5/8 sq pt
    Semogue OC Badger
    Proraso Green SS and AS
    Nivea Men's ASB (not pictured )
    I was smart this time because I had my set up laid out and stropped my razor last night just in case I got called in to work. Boy, lathering that Proraso woke me up very quickly. This is the 2nd time I used the Wosty after I honed it in July. Wow, I forgot how great a job I did because this thing is wicked sharp so that I only needed 2 passes for IBSS ++. Did catch a weep, but no irritation. Applied the matching AS and finished with Nivea to end a nice shave. Have a great morning, guys! 20191009_162741.jpg 20191009_162741.jpg

    Thanks, Perry!
    Thank you, Jim! I don't get much weepers with my Feather Popular, it feels easier to handle than the Merkur, for me. But i'm sure i'll get better with the Merkur if i just use it a lot. I'll try a few different blades with it after the focus just to see does it change anything. But after that, i'll start using my other razors again, they need some love too. :D
