Sigh, of course there's a squirrel shaving itself with a straight blade on the internet. Why wouldn't there be a flippin' squirrel shaving itself with a straight blade on the internet???? Why in the world!?! And yes, I did google shaving squirrel shaving soap, just to make sure I wasn't missing a vendor.
I just like to squirrel away shaving soaps!

Today I was running late, so I just grabbed something I could shave with quick and easy with a good result. This razor is probably my favorite in the den. It is one of those that makes me wonder why I ever reach for anything else. Kind of like how NurseDave feels about the RX. Effortless BBS+ with blades that last so long, that they end up costing me less than a penny per shave. I swirled the soap more than normal today, but still didn't load enough. I was squeezing out all possible to finish up my 3 pass shave this morning. It did make clean up a lot faster.
Thanks for reading everyone. Have a great day.

I have been thinking recently about not having any finished soaps other than samples. Then I decided I will take a card from Chad and do an every other day method to try to finish one. I have 3 that I thought were good options. Stirling Naked and Smooth, Tabac, and Cella. I figured that the Cella would be the best option. So, I am going to try the every other day thing with it. This may take a few months for me though, so who knows if I will actually be able to see it through. I may have to break the law to do it though. I am not sure if I can use the same brush every other day, but I also do not want the shaving police after me for using a brush that isn't an Italian boar.
Today's shave was good. The blade felt great in my hand. No leakage or seepage from a 2 pass shave that ended in a DFS. I did not however put the LT VC on right away and I have some visible irritation on my neck. I don't feel it, but I see it. Completely something that could have been avoided, but I was rushing and got out of order for how I do things.
A la Mancha, today is a short day here at work. Our department has a company picnic today starting at noon. Nothing like getting paid to eat great food and play games.
