Okay, so overtime this week caused me to fall off the wagon again. 3 days this time! Penalty cook.....yep I got some Baby Backs rubbed and wrapped in the fridge. I’m gonna use the insulated ‘kamado style’ Weber Charcoal Summit this time so I’m not fighting to hold a temperature as much.
I’m also dropping the ‘day#’ from the heading of my rule posts.
Speaking of rules, there are a few Max Headroom Rules of good shaving that had to be observed today.
•Prep and pre-hydration is important.
•Always use good steel.
•Never, never skimp on the amount of soap used.
•Light touch.
•Low blade angle.
•Correctly done, extra passes are less irritating than getting it all the first time.
I noticed something today with this setup. The first pass is a little more resistant to cutting. I commonly experience this on multiple day growth using straights unless the edge is very fresh. The second pass is far less resistant, leading me to think that maybe a freshly severed hair is more affected by soap and water.
Normal 3.5 pass routine including ATG.

30DC mulligans are only allowed for one day at a time. Multiple consecutive days require BBQ or ice cream. Actually, I was thinking about making more ribs this weekend anyway.
I am wondering though.......are you guys allowed to take mulligans on the No Buy Challenge?
Great shave....be well gang!
