An interesting and inspiring morning shave. Being disappointed in the shaving soap I used yesterday for the first time in about a year and a half, today I picked it up and threw it away, lock stock and barrel. Gone and forgotten. Next up was Taylor's Sandalwood shaving cream. A very nice fragrance and lather. Something to look forward to using, as opposed to dreading a less than excellent product. A great match for the big Rooney silvertip.

SOTD FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 2020

The weighted forearm gig continues to work well, despite SWMBO’s conviction that she will hear a thump and rush in to discover my decapitated noggin on the floor! SWMBO learned the tale of the Tybee Island face slashing almost 5 yrs ago from my daughter-in-law who treated me that morning. Let’s just say she’s not a fan of my straight shaving pursuits.

Despite all that, the first WTG mug pass with the Dovo Special was a success, and did take a little less time than yesterday. The Valet Auto Strop VC4 with the standard M-Bombed Nancy Boy accompaniment performed in its usual exemplary manor to complete the shave and bloodlessly deliver your happy narrator to velveteen BBS land in short order. I feel cool, clean, and velveteen!

RAZOR: Dovo Special and Valet Auto Strop VC4
BLADE: Feather FHS-10
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Chel Cooling Gel used as a preshave
BRUSH: Jayaruh Custom Rosewood Silvertip Badger #378
CREAM: Nancy Boy Signature w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Nancy Boy Signature ScentCooling After-Shave Gel.
