    Honing was, and still is, the final frontier for me and straight shaving. I feel fairly proficient with a blade on a 8K and finer, but not yet with 4K and below.

    Thank you, Clint!
    I rode the safety bar again this morning. I am surprised how well that works. I'll give it a try with the Rocnel tomorrow.

    Great shave, Patrick. Hope the repair work isn't too involved.

    JustOneJuly Shave #6

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Razor Retro Shavette
    Blade: Schick Proline P-30
    Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts 26 mm Tuxedo
    Lather: Razorock Stallion
    Aftershave: Wholly Kaw King of Oud
    Additional Care:
    Barbero Alum Block
    Stirling Tea Tree Witch Hazel
    Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

    Early morning start today. No workout as I have a long day ahead. My wife is scheduled for eye surgery to take care of an issue that has developed at the back of her eye. A scary prospect, as even with the procedure, she could still have a greater risk of complications such as developing cataracts within five years.

    Regarding the shave, I will be brief, excellent on all points. Love the lather the brush produces with this soap. Love the scent of both the splash and soap. Excellent all around.

    Have a great day gentlemen. Stay cool.

    I rode the safety bar as well with fantastic results. I will give it a try on each DE razor going forward.

    This weekend seemed way too short. At least I was able to get in a very relaxing shave again today. I left the Rex on 6.5 and rode the safety bar again for three passes and touch ups cathching the baby. The shave was super smooth and drama free. Riding the bar tamed the Rex. I hope everyone has a fantastic Monday.

    Thank you, Clint. Same to you.
    Starting twelve hour shifts today. Anywhere from three weeks to indefinitely. The good thing is, as of now, we get Saturday and Sunday off.
