Post Shave-

Dragonsbeard AS

The process-
So ... back to the grind today and starting the week out with a final shave of Dragsonbeard. Changed the kit up a bit with a different razor and brush. Kept the same routine and scooped a bit into the copper bowl. Went with a beast of a Badger and whipped up a really nice lather. I did add water as I went, but didn't try to break it. I might have played with that a bit more, but didn't have the time this morning. Had plenty of lather for a 3 pass shave and a post shave lather.

Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Another outstanding shave! Running a bit more water today and that was the ticket. The fresh Wizamet made quick work of that shave and I am BBS for the win. Very nice 3 passes. I continued to add water to the brush as I went, in addition to rinsing between passes. Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a pat dry. A splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Another great shave, starting the week strong. I've got the soap and AS packed up and ready to ship on. Life is good!
 
Shave Count (DE: 337 SE: 3 SR: 372)

Pre Shave-
Splash and go

Shave-
Three Ranners SR
Stirling Boar
CBL Sir Fougere Tonsorial soap (11)

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
Generic Witch Hazel / Avon Deep Woods Mix

The process-
Ok ... early morning shave, picking up where I left off and it's back to the CBL Tonsorial. I didn't weigh it this morning but the last time I did, it was 397g (including mug). Shelved the DEs for a bit and got back to the SRs. Went with my typical 30 second load time and got to work. I started out a bit too wet but thought I had it tamed down. The rinses in between passes were working against me and by the third pass, I had to go back to the mug. It's all good, I got business take care of.

30 laps on leather this morning because reasons. Went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. Nice ... very nice! I had recently taken the Three Ranners back to the SB for a touch up, but hadn't used it much. A very nice, smooth shave ... I'm digging it. Oh and I am BBS for the win! I'll take those all week long. Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a pat dry. A splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Man, these vintage Avon scents rock! Life is good!

Home Front-
Settling into a busy work week with more of the same fast paced schedule. Nothing horrible looming, which is always a good thing. Picking up additional new assignments, selecting annual goals and all that fun stuff. Lots of people hacking and coughing at the office place. I feel a lot better. My congestion and cough have really eased up, just slightly lingering. The missus is getting better also. She is just taking a bit longer because hers got worse than mine. A short week with Friday off ... oh yeah! That's all I have for ya at the moment.
 
I'm happy to hear you and Deb are getting better. Looks like you had a few good shaves, except for the Wizamet burn.
