Finally caught up Tim!!! Some great shaves; looking forward to the first use of the sight-unseen razor from Larry at Whipped Dog!

Me too! I still need to watch a video on stropping.

The razor is called Three Ranners. That’s on the shank and in gold on the blade. It’s swedish, but I can’ find any info on it. Oh well!
 
Woohoo! Started the day with a morning shave.

Pre Shave-
Warm water splash to shave.

Shave-
Gillette Slim
Astra SP (3)
Vulfix badger
GTB soap

Post Shave-
Warm water splash
GTB AS

I will be rocking the Slim for part of this week, I'm just not sure what part. And as I mentioned yesterday, the badger is getting some love this week too. Looking back, if I had to scale down to just two brushes I would go all natural with the boar and the badger. Feel free to cringe at your leasure. Anyway, here we go. I grabbed the GTB and got after it again. Ran a wet brush and loaded it for 20 second. The lather built easily and was nice and slick.

I went with my standard three passes: WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. Today I walked away with another DFS for the win! I've mentioned it before, but it's worth repeating ... the Slim delivers!

Wrapped up the shave with a splash of water and a quick towel dry. Hit it with the GTB AS and everything was right as rain! The shave settled down quickly for a great post shave feel. I really dig these morning shaves. Life is good!
 
I'm trying to give you your space rockin' the GTB, but I might just have to hit that up once this week.
 
No shave this morning, grrrrrrrr!

Had to get up at 2am and drive to East TX. We are awaiting delivery of a new granddaughter.

Should be able to wrap the day up with a shave though.

Hey, wrap up the day with a nice shave and a new granddaughter? Sounds like a pretty darn good day to me!

My prayers for grand day for you and your family!

Yup, that’s the plan. It will be a great day when she arrives. But ... we are still waiting. Thanks for the prayers Chris!
 
Well heck, a new baby is reason enough to delay a shave. Not skip it, but delay is understandable.
