Now that’s an entry! Although the needing to be reminded about the tiny plastic cruise shower with clingy curtain was a little weird... 😜

Swaying to the classic tunes on WMRK this morning. Went for a simple, slam dunk shave this morning. Antsy to get back to the SS though. Missed the zoom call last night due to school work, but due to the wonders of technology, I was able to play a couple of rounds of a game with some of the crew.

Whew, back to the SS. I have the most fun shaving with this one I must say. A little excited it's Friday, but I start a week of being on-call tomorrow morning...
 
I tell ya, I have the itch to buy a straight razor(s), but still struggling with this tells me I need to wait. I keep thinking how silly it will be if I dump a lot of money on this stuff and then decide I need to stick with SE.
I have a Weck, a half DE shavette, and a Feather SS Kami, and just picked up a Kai style AC folder from @CBLSoap.com - Most folks have told me a straight is way easier to shave with than any of those I just listed.
I posted the following pick on a FB group the other day asking what they thought in terms of least difficult to most difficult in terms of likelihood of drawing blood and the consensus was something like 1, 5, 3, 4, 2. People were pretty consistent on where they ranked 1, 5, & 2. 3 & 4 varied. BTW 1 is a RazoRock Hawk v. 3
