November 25th
L'Occitane Shave Cream (Cade) & EAV DES BAVX EdT
Jason's BRM (blue resin maple) w/TGN 28mm Silver tip
Ralf Aust
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Star Jelly ASB
Late morning shave....girls out of school this week, wifey's on vacation today, and I've gotten today's work done from 5am to 9am while everyone else slept in. Then.....made breakfast.
Excellent bowl/face lather from Jason's BRM loaded with a TGN behemoth SHD silvertip. The L'Occitane shave cream is easy lathering, but feels 'too clean', and slowly dissipates during a shave pass. For the second lather, added a few drops of glycerin to the shave bowl, and relathered. Better.... 2.5 very deliberate passes with the Ralf Aust, focusing on a very low (~1/2 to 2/3 spines' width) angle for growth removal. Really efficient shaving when it all comes together. First pass was WTG, remaining was opposite sides of an X pass. One of the most fun parts of shaving with a straight razor (at least to this brain matter), is seeing the dark peppery growth reduction in the wisp of shaving cream on the blade's edge right before you rinse it off....and....it not be tainted with the liquid under the skin

. BBS smooth, no issues to report. Smidge of PAA'S Star Jelly (a lightly mentholated gel like balm, unscented) followed by 'I lost count' number of spritzes with the L'Occitane EdT. Smelling awesome, feeling refreshed, even though there's not much on the agenda for the rest of the day other than 1 Black Friday errand and some Holiday decorating with wifey.
