Looks like the shave was a success!
Checking in for the Amish shave.
Amish folks don’t shave too much. Male or female :0

AS: DR Harris Windsor
The Deets-
Finished out the work week yesterday and rocked Ethos Succes the entire week. Great shaves with a combination of DE and straight shaves. I am off work today and wanted to try my new DR Harris Windsor. I don’t have a bowl for the soap yet, so The Fat got the nod.
20 laps on linen and 60 on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. The Fat just works so well for me and provides an excellent shave. Hot lather and relaxing passes of the straight left me BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the new aftershave and everything was right as rain! Man it smells nice. Great way to start the cold, dreary day. Life is good!
Home Front-
I haven’t posted much on the home front lately. Let’s just say that the last 5-6 weeks have been … stressful. But we adapt and overcome. I haven’t reached the overcoming part yet, but I will get there.

Pulled this one from my BSTP box to give it another go. Nice light scent and Stirling performance, what more could you ask for. It delivered a great hot lather shave. Life is good!
