Quick entry with a late post but an early shave. Kept most of the setup the same to wind down the week. I simply changed out the razor. Same process as normal and I walked away BBS for the win! Life is good.

There should have been an “-ish” on there.

Got off work a little early, so I thought I would hang out for a bit.
I think @bentheduck might be headed this way. Grabbed the wife, dogs and weekend bag. We are outta here ...

So you can't see over the steering wheel? That seems a little.......dangerous.

Shave Count (DE: 299 SR: 259)
Pre Shave-
Splash and go
Shave-
Dovo SR
Zenith boar
Mitchells Wool Fst soap
Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Avon Oland AS
The Process-
Well ... I hit snooze way more than normal this morning and I am blaming it on @bentheduck. In spite of my tardiness, it's Friday and I am wrapping the week up with a shave. Hm ... decided to mix it up a bit today and grabbed The Fat. I really dig this soap for the light scent and great performance. It allows me the option to choose whatever AS I would like to use for the day. Hit it for 40 seconds and whipped up a ton of lather. My brushes usually lean towards the wet side and The Fat keeps up with no problem.
50 laps on the leather, and the Dovo was good to go. I went with my normal shave of WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. The Dovo still has a nice edge on it from lapping film and it performs well. Really nice shave and I am BBS for the win! Awesome way to wrap of the week.
Wrapped everything up with a double shot of the Oland AS and everything was right as rain! You know it was! Post shave feel ... spot on. Totally digging it and I am good to go. I mentioned the lapping film earlier because I am still working on my edges with stones. My edges are just not as keen or have the longevity of the lapping film. That's a work in progress and I will get there. That just speaks to the ease and effectiveness of the lapping film in producing an edge.
Home front-
Through some sort of magic or something, Ben was able to find me last night. Couldn't believe it, I even wore a Fedora and fake glasses with the mustache. Oh well, I'll have to update my disguise kit. OMG ... when you let these young city guys loose in the country ... craziness happens. He was wanting to hit the pasture parties, tip cows and howl at the moon. (Sorry, I know how some of you feel about tipping.) And ... he wanted to do this on a weeknight? Or maybe we just met for burgers and conversation. Anyway, had a good time and it was nice to meet another forum member. Crazy busy day at work today and should be a busy weekend as well. I'll have to get the lawn mowing in this evening. Rest of the weekend will mostly be spent helping others. All outside work ... should be fun. Have a great Friday! Life is good!
Going to be a busy few days, so how about some tunes to get the blood flowing ...

Lapping film has worked well. I just need to get my edges better with stones.
