Wednesday

Prep: Hot shower
Coffee: Fresh ground Starbucks French Roast, BLACK
Soap: TSD SOTQ B2 - Cantaloupe + 3 drops M Bomb
Brush: Ever Ready 250PB
Razor: '61 Fatboy @ 6
Blade: Dorco ST-301, day 3, 3+ passes
Post: Cold water rinse, ice water splash, Dickenson's WH, Curve, hand strop blade
'Stache Wax: Steve's Own

Shave Rating: 4 Blades

Had I not been lazy and had ground up my home roasted Rwanda, this would have easily been a 5 blade shave. But since my coffee is part of my shave routine, I have to consider it in the overall rating.

I didn't expect less from the shave itself and I wasn't disappointed. Great shave.

 

Wednesday:

Goodfella
Rapira Day 3
Tabac
Vie-Long Bombito
Alum, witch hazel, TSD iced subzero

 

Been meaning to ask you what makes Rwanda better than store bought?

 

Wednesday 7/13:
Prep: Hot shower, lather, hot towel (2 min.)
Soap/cream: CO Bigelow
Brush: AOS pure
Razor: Westenholm Pipe straight razor
AS: AOS Sandalwood Post Shave Balm

Rwanda just happens to be the country where the coffee is grown. Like a Kenya or Colombian coffee is from the respective country. I've tried quite a few and have found that I prefer the coffees from Africa (Kenya and Rwanda, for example) over the Central and South American coffees. It's just a matter of taste preference, nothing more.

As for being better than store bought, "they" say coffee goes stale after seven days. By roasting my own and only doing what I will use in a week's time, I never have stale coffee. You'll never get that from store bought, hence why I think home roasted is better than store bought.
