Re: SOTD June 15 - June 21
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.

New boar - day 2 - so the lather was a bit thin for pass 2. Will see how it develops as the brush breaks in.

Re: SOTD June 15 - June 21
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!
