  2. Yard Burn (800x450).jpg 20190601_180419.jpg 06/30/2019 – Focus Shave #15 for June

    RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush
    Timeless Lather Bowl Scuttle
    Fine Accoutrements – Snake Bite
    Astra SP
    Gillette P4 1970 Flare Tip
    Univinlions (Kai Clone) with Feather Pro Blade
    Nivea Post Balm

    It has been a busy day but things are finally settling down. I just finished showering and a got a great shave in. The last one for this month.

    The Univinlions was good for one complete pass and it has been a great learning experience using the pain stick. I really have a lot of respect for the straight razor shavers out there. The Flare Tip gave an excellent 2nd pass. Alum was silent.

    I really enjoyed the Snake Bite and have not even made a dent in the soap this month. Triple milled has its benefits.

    My hand it looking and feeling a lot better today. I even laughed at the burn streaks in dad's yard today. Thanks for everyone concerns. Y'all are the best.

    It was a joy following along with everyone and looking forward to the shave reports next month.

    Take care guys!
  3. Great shave to end the month, Danny! See you in July!

  14. Thank you Danny!
    Uh, nope. Not going to happen. That hone is a natural piece of stone suitable for kitchen knives. Might even be fine enough to be part of a SR honing process.
    That being said I see no reason to put two opposing blades that close to my face. I've seen what they do to potatoes.
