Gave myself 2 nicks with the Prima Klang and then switched to the Slim Adjustable. Got myself some nasty razor burn on the neck (kudos to the Prima Klang), which is now in the process of healing. Damn, the third or fourth shave in a row with that razor resulting in razor burn afterwards.... might have ter load it off.

Nice one, bro ! I really need to break down and buy some top notch stuff so I can try some of yo creations. If your ASB is too thick, cut it with a bit of Witch Hazel. Perfect.
A couple of bad shaves. Hope it's not an omen. Comes in threes. Rick...Someone giving you a run for your money in the mixology dept? We may have to take up a collection and get you a few items.
Saturday Hot shower Hot towel Cromwell & Carruthers shave oil FrankenTech/Wilkinson Classic Sword Kent Woolfat soap B&B Horn Superfinest Alum block Royall Lime AS Body Shop Razor Relief ASB A good shave. The Tech is a nice little razor, but I've come to realize that I'm happier with heavy implements of shaving. Back to a different razor tomorrow. The Wilkinsons I got yesterday seem sharper than the German Wilkinsons I started shaving with, which is nice.
Great idea! My Thayer's stuff (big love) and my Hydrosols (also much love) don't get as much work lately. This would be a perfect way to get them in. And just about 1 hr. later -- final verdict on today's concoction -- ::git :happy088
