-Dovo Bismarck 6/8
-Tulip 2
-Tabac
-British Sterling
My wife works today, so that she can pay for my razors. So it means I have the place all to myself, and can use scents she doesn't like. Actually the Tabac is fine, plus it rinses off anyway, but she doesn't like British Sterling at all. I like it because it was the first aftershave I ever had. When I was a kid, my dad scrounged it out of his dadstash of unused/unwanted Christmas gifts and gave it to me.
The first time I used this "shave ready" razor, I got a pretty poor shave out of it. I touched it up, and hadn't tried it again, and it was nagging at me to use it. Today was MUCH improved, and I got a nice shave from it, but I need to hit it just a little more. Being new to any type of honing, I am being pretty cautious. I would rather have to work on it a couple of times than overdo it and try to figure out what I did wrong.
I also know that my stropping is at least not causing any harm, but I don't know if it is really helping as much as it should. Just one of those practice things.
I don't have any shortages of focus topics in the near future.
