Very nice shave

 

One of my favorite razors

 

I'll do that , Bill always has good ideas.
Im sure Joe could fix it if Id send it back but for now perhaps not send it back maybe when the razor needs a fresh hone that would make more sense to send it back the little burn doesnt affect the use of the razor its only nasty when I want to resell it then I have point that accident out:mad:

Wow even you had these accidents Chris what a PITA ! to keep these Str8's in good shape that adds really to the learning curve of using a str8 if your used to the easyness of not even the need to dry a DE but with a Str8 your in deep trouble. I have an INOX Dovo it stays rust free sofar but I wouldnt keep it in water all the time or not dry off im sure it would attack the surface?

def my bad beind stationary and having the blower on nr 2 ! I should have known way better I use a blower at work too for shrinking insulation tape on fresh solder work I managed to completely ruin a few hours solder work like that too ... too close and too hot.

Slather: Mitchell's Wool Fat / Trumper Coconut Cream; Trumper Rose Skin Food
Razor: EJ Chatsworth / Dorco
After shave: Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel; Nivea Sensitive AS Balm
Cologne: Creed Green Irish Tweed

The "CocoFat" combo created some of the most ridiculous lather yet! I probably used a tad too much cream, but sometimes "a little too much is just enough..."

 

I forgot I had that stuff tucked away. I'm on PTO (Personal Time Off) Thur, Fri and Mon to take care of the house while wife is off at a horse show. Hopefully, I can drag that out of storage box. Hmmm..maybe it's time to have a Bay Rum week of shaves.

Result: Continuing my 4+ streak, day 2 of the B&B LTD brush showing that like other people, I think it should have had a little more backbone. It's not floppy but I can tell when it's soaking in the bowl, it spreads out a little more then some of the other brushes. The Pre de Provence soap shaves well and feels nice on the skin. This is the last of the Feather Pro Blades. I do better with the Super Pro Blades so that is what I am going to stick with.
