Ramblings of a MilkCrate

F1E33745-1644-4864-81A4-5F2D684AC007.jpeg
Shave Count (DE: 425 SE: 9 SR: 517)

Pre Shave-
Strop: Tony Miller
Splash and go

Shave-
Razor: Torrey SR
Blade: none
Brush: Stirling Boar
Soap: Stirling Executive Man

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: Stirling Executive Man
Frag: none

The Process-
Early-ish shave today, later than my work week shave. Last Friday was my day off, but had to work on some last minute things for someone else. I really should adopt a new philosophy, “A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.” Anyway, onto the shave. Sounded like a good day for Executive Man. Ran with the Stirling boar and the Torrey. A 30 second load time whipped up a really nice, great smelling lather.

60 laps on leather and it was go time. I had sent this razor and my Three Ranners off to @uacowboy for a refresh, since my honing mojo was sporadic. Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. The soap and brush did their part and the razor brought it home. Three nice passes and I am BBS for the win! Nice job Kyle! Once again I had a bit of lather for a post shave while I cleaned my shave gear.

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a healthy splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Man I smell great! Life is good!

Home Front-
Got the new horse yesterday and he settled in quickly. Had lunch with a couple of the kids and that was a good time. It was a really good Tex-Mex place and the pico is a jalapeño and habanero mix ... good stuff. At the laundry now, washing dog beds. Then off to the hardware store for steel wool and some Tung oil to work on those wood scales.
