May 20th & 21st
Stirling SS and AS - Barbershop
Drew Dick 5/8
Darwin 2 band badger
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Star Jelly ASB
Two very busy days! Between hauling elderly dad around for 2 doctor visits, my wife around for a extended office visit (colonoscopy), getting a new roof installed (& having to micro manage that to be sure the contract items are follow), plus 7-9 hour work days....just not enough time yesterday and today to read/post. Same setup both days to keep life a little simpler!
Between this Darwin badger and Stirling's shave soap, no problems, awesome rich lather and aroma. Mixed bowl/face application. This Drew Dick is almost like shaving with a DE blade...it's micro thin, the grind only reveals the spine the last ~20% of the blade's width. Super light, incredibly audible shaver. For those who haven't seen this razor before, this blade is very thin/flexible, care and super attention required just for stropping, as you can see/feel it flex. It flexes while shaving. Shaving with it is fun though, handles much like a shavette or kamisori. Blade width is narrow and allows me to shave while 'riding the spine'. 3 passes both yesterday and today, super DFS+ results. One or two small weepers, no biggie, no distraction. About a teaspoon of PAA's Star Jelly.....followed with a thorough dousing of Stirling's awesome aroma'd Barbershop, and both days went off with 'no news is good news' for all the doctor visits.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the afternoon/evening!
