Movember Thursday SOTN

I had to take a little more of the beard off tonight... Too itchy. Still keeping an oversized goatee though. Had to try the new Karve OC level C and Yaqi brush. Always love the Ogallala Bay Rum and Sandalwood soap. Happy shaves all.

Great shot!

Is it easy for you to shave with so light a razor?
My poor technique makes me prefer the chromed one, heavier...

 

I feel that lighter razors are easier to shave with. You have far more input and feedback, instead of the weight of heavy razors dulling your senses.

To put it another way, think about the phrase "let the razor do the work"
Eh, how about not leaving the shave up to the rigid inflexability of gravity and actually put the driver in charge of the car instead of vice versa?


* Usual caveats apply: YMMV, TTT, IMO, YAWN....

 

Because I am a poor... driver?

A beautiful November rain was my shaving sound track this morning (together with Glenn Miller, obviously...).
But now there is a mid-spring sun shining: will I ever get an adequate weather?

My new pleasure for almond scented soaps reveals again and what better to close the liturgy with vetiver fragrance?
