Ramblings of a MilkCrate

Shave Count (DE: 289 SR: 228)

Pre Shave-
Shower and go

Shave-
Dovo SR
Vi Long horsehair
SC Vetiver and Vanilla cream

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Warm water splash
Nivia ASB

The process-
Afternoon shower and shave after mowing the yard. Did a weekend random shave. Thought I would try the Stone Cottage again and it worked very well. It’s labeled as a cream but has a consistency more like a croap. Went with a 20 second load time and that was plenty. Thought I would see if the horsehair would play nice today and it did. I loaded the brush counter clockwise because the brush is weird like that. It splayed well and cranked out a bunch of lather.

Stropped the Dovo and used tha standard three pass shave of WTG, XTG and ATG. That was a very nice shave and I am BBS for the win! Wrapped up with the usual and everything is right as rain! A great shave always brightens my day.

Home front-
Yard work, honey-do’s, errands and taking the day as it comes. Life is good!

Shave Count (DE: 289 SR: 229)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
J Allen SR
Vulfix badger
Mudder Focker soap

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Warm water splash
Mudder Focker AS

The process-
I was really conflicted this morning about my soap choice. I wanted to try the soap from Hawaii, but I opted to wait. I want to get some sample containers in case anyone wants to try this one. So ... what to choose. I haven’t used MF in awhile, so it got the nod. 30 second load time that started out loading very bubbly, but settled down. Plenty of slick lather for a 3 pass shave and then some. I didn’t care for the scent of this soap at first. I put it in a drawer for awhile and then came back to it. Now I’m digging it.

I thought the edge on the J Allen was fading on me and was about to freshen it up on the stones. But I decided to hit it on the linen strop for 20 laps and then 50 on leather. That perked it right up. Three pass shave of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Tried a slightly different ATG stroke and it paid off. That was an outstanding, buttery smooth shave and I am BBS for the win! Wrapped up the shave with a healthy splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! A really awesome shave and I smell nice.

Home front-
In addition to mowing and the other fun stuff this weekend, I had a chance to work on the Permedge and clean it up. Round one on the razors was knocking off the chunky stuff. This was round two to try and wrap it up. It’s not 100% pro, but I’m happy with it. Next up, the W&B. Once I get all the razors cleaned up, then it’s off to the stones. For those watching at home, this was #0000 steel wool, Mother’s Mag and wheel polish, and time. Lots of time. But I took the least destructive path. Life is good!

Oh we have them in AZ too. But they are almost universally poked fun at unless you are in/from Texas. Most common thing i have heard is WaterBurger but i honestly can't judge since i have never actually had it. Don't Worry @bentheduck i will try to fix that soon(Especially since i was born it Texas and am most likely a criminal at this point for having never tried it.)
