    PickledNorthern Fabulous, the unicorn

    I am thinking this one razor a week thing is going to be difficult for me right now. Part of what I am doing is working on honing and refreshing etc... Well the only way you can really know if you got a razor where you want it is to shave with it. It doesn't really work to wait a week to see it you pulled it off, or if you didn't, if you don't have time to re work it, you need to grab another one.

    I am calling this focus "Off the Rails", and am amending it to simply using and maintaining straights. So considering that I consider myself a straight shaver now anyway, I guess it is a non-focusing focus.

    Thanks. It is an older Crabtree and Evelyn bowl that I use for samples. I'd like to say I made it to match the brush, but I can't!

    A very nice shave was had last night compliments of the 34C/Feather combo, all except for one weeper. For some reason I always get a weeper when using a Feather blade. I felt no pain during the shave, just noticed a tiny spot of red on my neck afterward. The funny thing is, I only shave WTG on my neck, and I haven't had a spot of blood in over 10 months(probably since the last time I used a Feather LOL). Have a great day my friends!

    Since the hairs on my neck grow in about 3 different directions, I always expect to get at least one weeper. That's how it was a year ago this month when I started this journey. But since I've gotten in some solid reps with all my razors/blades, no blood. Also doing a half pass(neck only) XTG helps a lot

    It's official, I'm a straight shaver
    After 3.5 hours sleep, I had thirty minutes to get ready this morning. I showered and did a two pass DFS in that time, without blood!
    Caught a cab back to the airport, dealt with a brainless counter person and finally have my rental car. I'm enjoying a nice Mexican breakfast in Norfolk right now.
    I have a couple of hours to kill, off to find antiques stores
