    Wow....with certain "daily living" expenses getting higher now, it's hard to say when I'll make another shav-related order. Hopefully sometime this fall/winter season, as I do have a couple in mind.

    Today's shave was a 9.5/10 still using dial 4 for the whole shave and went back on dial 5. It was shave 4 on the bottom, 22 in total with the Personna 100 pack made in USA I bought in late 2017.

    I used as always, my H 2 or 1962 Gillette Adjustable slim handle shaver without the case.

    I shaved after the shower so none of home-made shaving lotion/soap combo from the hotel squeeze lotion bottle for shaving today, but I did keep the blade wet as needed.

    The blade was still on day 4 smoother because this bottom side got stropped more due to not having the blade all the way into the Twin Stropper during that stropping with the first 10--12 turns of the handle where the blade only spun about every 3 shaves in this period before I took the blade out and put it in all the way.

    October 9 SOTM

    Good evening.

    Schick I-1
    Pella SE Blade 3
    MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Synthetic Brush
    Angora Soaps Midnight Lavender SS and AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Lucky Witch Hazel
    Beard Growth: 4 Days

    Sorry, I have been doing late posts, but it happens. Anyway, I went with my Schick I-1 and Angora Lavender for this morning's shave. I only did 2 passes for a clean and comfortable shave. There weren't any injuries during this shave and beyond. Finished with the alum, witch hazel and matching aftershave applications. Take care.

    :thanks:

    Notice I did have the guts to go one dial higher when the shave felt like it was not taking.

    One of the oddest shaves I have ever done besides one where they cut the power to our block for a few minutes in the 2010's when using a Personna disposable 2 blade when getting ready for work in the morning. This was obviously before 2017 in 2015.

    By 4 pm the power was back on restored after paying the bill + the rest of October and the $40 turn on fee.
