today I used Dovo 98 Pearlex 5/8 full hollow round end I slowed my roll a bit. I was rewarded with a nice comfy close shave. I've got one spot on my neck that's difficult to reach with a straight. inability to stretch the skin is the cause. today I took my time and concentrated on form.
well that was different today I used a new to me razor. Wostenholm Celebrated IXL 9/16 medium hollow barber's notch it came in not shave ready. after some reading and practice on another razor, this razor went to the pyramids.(10 down on 4k/8k) add a few laps on apache strata. 60 laps bench strop. 20 on Adam's custom before shave. wow talk about a man's razor. no distracting sound of whiskers being cut. no feeling of soft forgiving edge. this is a sharp, heavy little piece of steel. it took a little bit to get used to it. four passes to get everything smooth, and I ended very smooth. maybe a couple weepers under my chin. definitely requires ones attention. have a great day.
Tuckmar recently restored and scaled by holyrollah Phoenix Acoutrements 11235 - scent is great, lather thin Floid blue Brushcraft handle with a FS 26mm knot set deep wonderful shave today but had to add crème to the soap to get it slick and thick
today Eaton 85 Diamond Edge 5/8 full hollow spike such a nice shave today. What a difference a day makes! not much changed outside of my head. but today seemed much easier.
