Thought I would opt for a one day shave, need to make a dent in this puck

Quick warm water soak, dipped the Omega 10049 into the water, shook out the brush, 20 swirls off the Christmas Eve puck and straight to the face adding water to create the classic Stirling lather, nice and slick. Two passes with the Rocket HD and Permasharp (2) and some ATG around the mouth for a fantasticly fun Sunday shave, no damage done

Hope your shaves were just as good or better

Have a great day one and all
