Good Sunday morning... Wald Es-Ese 5/8 and '58 Tech w/Dorco 301(5) Noxema SC Thayers Original WH w/aloe Anherb ASB First attempt with the straight, did cheeks and part of the neck WTG, then finished first pass and completed the job with the Tech. I'm trying to get a feel for the straight so I'm not rushing it. I like the Noxema and understand the buzz about it. Not a BBS, but very good shave. Nathan
Saturday Hot shower + hot towels EJ BBB Gillette SS -66 Astra Superior TOBS Eton College Cold towels Nivea A/S balm Due to some stomach problems I was kept home instead of going out camping. So the whole "shave in the wood" thing got away from me However tried the Superspeed. Astra wasn't the best choice of blade with that razor for me. Used the same setup today(sunday) and got a similar result. Will try a different blade tomorrow.
