    Dec 4 SOTA

    Good afternoon.

    Rockwell 6C (plate 4)
    Gillette Winner DE Blade (final use)
    Omega Pro 49 Boar Brush
    Stirling Barbershop SS
    Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Beard Growth: 1 day

    Getting ready for tonight's services so a shave is in order
    Everything went well, but the blade got a little tuggy on my final pass.
    I picked out the Barbershop because I like the scent and my 1 oz sample is almost finished. I may have 2 shaves left, but I will see if my prediction rings true. It never does. Lol!
    The boar made a nice, thin but slick lather and that is because there isn't much soap left in the puck. I should've used a synthetic brush. Oh well.
    Two passes gave me BBS, but my side chain got a small irritation from the tuggy blade. The alum let me know about it that's for sure. Splashed on the P/C aftershave to end this pleasant shave. Take care.

    Thanks Gary. It's a good blade, but I find that it quickly dulls.

    Scoop and press into your bowl for the next usage of this soap. May get more volume. Great shave Joe.

    Originally, I was going to do that, but I wanted to experiment and see for myself why the boar doesn't do well unless you pick up plenty of soap. This was noted from one of my fav shaving you tuber.

    Awesome shave Danny. I agree. Shaving has also been fun for me during the last 4+ years.
