    July 2017 - Time to straighten up!

    July 15

    Razor - W.B. Speed - Rabbit
    Soap - Truefitt & Hill 1805
    Brush - WCS Synthetic
    Post - Alum

    What a great finish to a week with the Rabbit. I decided to take my time and work on reduction, and use four passes like some others have. And, I apparently found the sweet spot on the T&H 1805 soap. My, my, my the lather was as luxurious and slick as I've ever had. I have been trying to remember the exact way I loaded in the synthetic and hope I can recreate that every time. I'm serious. Maybe the best lather I've ever had. Slicker than the Fat, extremely protective and cushiony, and I'm pretty sure that had as much to do with the baby showing up as my razor technique.

    Deciding on four passes I was slightly concerned about having enough lather from the load but I had enough after four passes to do at least two more. That's how good the lather was. Can't say enough about that, can you tell? I had a week of really nice straight razor shaves. The best week I've ever had with the TSR and the stropping is getting to be less of a hassle in my mind now as well. That's a good thing. While I may never turn totally to the dark side I am happy to be at a point I can visit there and not have to overcome a learning curve every time.

    Coming up in the next few days I'm going to be trying a couple of new AC blades in the pain sticks. Feather has a new blade out and Schick is also making an AC blade. Should be fun and hopefully interesting as well.

    Smooth as a baby's little tukhis and frozen-stiff!

    Boy, did this Glacial Wintergreen trio ever do a number on me. The soap lathered like a beast, froze the crap out of me, and felt so heavenly. Needless to say the matching balm and witch hazel had the same delightful effect. My Astra blade showed some signs of fatigue, however so it's been retired after a week of diligent work! ;) :D

    Have a great Sunday, guys! :)

    16 July 2017 thru 22 July 2017

    Soap: RazoRock Puros
    Brush: Omega 10086 boar (alternate between white & black handles)
    Razor: Fatip Grande
    Blade: Astra (1) thru (7)
    Aftershave: RazoRock Puros

    I'm really hooked on the Puros scent. Joe & company really nailed the tobacco note. Soap lathers up easily as do most Italian soaps. Aftershave lingers long into the day. A manly way to start the day!
