    Good morning.

    Straight Razor Shave #552
    7/8 J A Henckels Friodur
    Omega Pro 49 Boar Brush
    Stirling Tsuka SS and AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Personal Care Witch Hazel
    Beard Growth: 33.5 hrs

    I will be doing more open blade shaves this month so I went with my Friodur.
    I picked Stirling Tsuka because I haven't used it in awhile. Here's my lather:

    Three error-free passes gave me a super shave. There was very little alum feedback. I splashed on the witch hazel and that wonderful matching aftershave. Since I am not going to a social event, I decided against the matching EdT. Take care.

    Another good one this morning.About 0:45 at the Loading Dock, as the soap sppears to jump onto the brush at a quicker rate than others I've used. When I first joimed here, the standard time for loading was always 0:20. What soaps were THEY using, I wonder? Or maybe they had that fast motion of loading that I never had. ANYWAY.....clean and clear all around. Zero cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. 2 passes. I almost stopped at just the first(pass), but decided to go ahead with the second. Yardley(New York)A.S. again to finish. Really nice. As Outstanding As It Gets.

    She had her professors actively encouraging her to go into the Masters program before she even started her final year. And won the award this week for top grad in Archaeology. So we are quite proud of her success.

    Days growth = 1

    Prep = Hot water soak x 3
    Preshave = T&H No 10 using this as a preshave
    Cream/Soap = Maca Root
    Brush = Razorock 400 synthetic, nice long handle for the wider …
    …Bowl = white plastic bowl
    Razor = Gillette Rocket
    Blade = Astra Superior Stainless (1)
    Passes = 2+
    Post = Usual CWR, Alum, CWR, Thayers
    ASL = PR Rinfrescante
    Scent = Red Musk
    Damage = none

    Nice thick ‘n slick lather

    Shaving pressure: different razors allow for different amounts of pressure. Different parts of the face need/can tolerate different pressure. The chubby parts of the face can tolerate more, the thinner parts eg the neck and Adam’s apple don’t

    I have to say the Astra felt nice and smooth, but I suspect this is more a combination of prep, lather, razor and technique, either way I landed up pretty much BBS all over

    Will be travelling on Sunday for a week: still need to decide on what shaving gear to take with

    Have a great Thursday one and all
