Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (9)
Blade - (1)
Soap - Blood on Steel 2019 by Stirling
Brush - 30DC Meet Up LE w/ SynBad bulb knot
Post - Alum

Time to move on down the line after last night's semi-massacre. I picked up the Gillette Slim and went with my number one blade most days, the Voskhod. Of course, I kept it dialed up to 9 in the razor because that's what I do. I chose the Blood on Steel 2019 and the Meet Up LE brush from last summer. Great brush from @jtspartan to help us celebrate the second meet up and Stirling did themselves proud with the soap, as they do with all their soaps. Lather was awesome, had the right blade and a vintage Gillette adjustable in my hand. What could possibly go wrong?

Well........something did. I'm honestly a bit perplexed. The blade feel was good. Smooth. However, I drew blood on my left jawline and then scraped two spots on my lower left neck. Alum was also a bit warm all over but on those bloody spots it was, of course, hot. I didn't feel the cut or the scraping so something was off. The cut was perhaps a bad set down. The neck scrapes can only be bad angle or too much pressure, or a combination of both. I didn't sens myself making those mistakes but clearly I did something wrong. I was hurrying a bit as it was a bit later than some nights after a meeting so maybe that's the explanation. Whatever happened, that's two problem shaves in a row. Time to reassess my technique and go into tomorrow ready to start a new win streak. I'm a Blues fan. I know what happens when you let a bad streak go three games.

Hope you had a great Wednesday. And I hope you have an even better Thursday!!

Tobacco Thursday
Outstanding shave and the end of the splash. I really enjoy WSP cream - it is very easy to lather and provides plenty of slickness and a top scent. I like it better than TOBS or T&H creams in terms of performance.
