Gem Micromatic ClogPruf Gem Stainless PTFE Semogue BC Mistura Arko Stick Overall, it was a nice shave this morning. The hand numbness is slowly receding but it still makes shaving a bit difficult.
Wonderful picture, Daniel! My very first rule with the crew I concentrated on technique. By the end of the month I was getting irritation free shaves although they weren't very close. I later returned to that razor for a focus and completed thirty consecutive shaves. I learned a lot about skin stretching, maintaining the proper angle throughout each stroke and which directions I could get away shaving. Takes time to find what works best for you and you're well on your way.
SEptember Hemingway Accoutrements~~Simpson~~Feather/Feather SE shave today. I think it's #5 with the Feather, but I am not paying that close of attention. The Feather Super Professional still has a good edge, so it's staying for the time being. Sticking with creams as I indicated a few days ago. Today, The HA performed wonderfully and the scent is mos def© in my top ten. Who could complain about rubbing the product all over my face with such a soft brush? The Simpson CH2 is a joy to use and not a bad-looker either. For some idiotic reason, while shaving my chin, I put the blade down at a 90˚ angle. Needless to say it left a calling card. The HA shave tonic soothes and refreshes and smells..... lovely.
Razor: RoyalShave branded Dovo Brush: Razorock Barber 24 Preshave: Proraso Soap: Chiseled Face Trade Winds Aftershave: MLS Jefferson Square I'm trying guys. Still waiting on my Stirling soap. If I am going to shave with a straight razor everyday I will need to back off. I just love the BBS so much I have to go for it, but everyday like that and I start looking like I have diaper rash on my face...

Awesome photo! I think most of us are guilty of chasing the baby. Not really sure how to get past that. I still do on occasion.
Thanks. The doctor said it could take up to two months. I have partial feeling but it is a slow process.
I did a 5 day, 351 mile bike ride beginning labor day and compressed the ulnar nerve in my hand. I have partial numbness and tingling on the outside of my right hand with a much more minor version in my left hand where only the tip of my pinky is tingly.
