What a way to start a chilly morning with a iced water shave.  The recently honed TI delivered a super smooth and comfortable shave.  This razor,  my first straight purchased about 19 years ago, will always have a sentimental place in my den.  Even though I purchased it 19 years ago, I did not use it consistently until three years ago.  Since that time, my straight razor journey has transformed from an awkward approach with numerous weeper and cuts to a confident, but respectful shave process.
This morning's three pass shave was nothing less than stellar with extreme closeness.  The Stirling Sandalwood provided a nice compliment to the soap.
Regarding the school front, I will be back in the classroom on Friday.  This virtual learning is for the birds 

 , however, the practice run of the MOLC is a wonderful tease to the upcoming Fall and beyond.  

  Have a great day gentlemen.
