Ramblings of a MilkCrate

Shave Count (DE: 394 SE: 9 SR: 475)

Pre Shave-
Strop: Tony Miller Plain
Splash and go

Shave-
Razor: Henckels SR
Blade: none
Brush: Vulfix Badger
Soap: Stirling Piacenza

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: Stirling Piacenza
Frag: none

The Shave-
Not sure what my funk was yesterday, but I shook it off. An early morning shave today and I did change up some of the kit. Piacenza got the nod today as well as the Vulfix. The soap was a nice change up and I may use it the rest of the work week. I grabbed the Vulfix just to have a Badger a bit smaller than the DSC. Hopefully my Yaqi will come in soon, I am really wanting to try that one. Typical load time this morning and I whipped up a really nice lather.

10 laps on cotton and 40 on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. A very nice shave and I am BBS for the win! Yup ... so much better than yesterday. I also had enough lather for a post shave lather while I cleaned my shave gear.

Finished the shave with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! A great start to the day, let’s kick this pig. Life is good!
