    Decent shave, happy with refresh, though as I said yesterday it wasn't in dire need of it and still had plenty of shaves left on the existing edge. It's nice to know that the peanut method works though and bodes well for the mass refresh I did at the beginning.

    I enjoyed last year's AA running a GEM throughout, but this one is shaping up to be better again. Though I likely won't carry on with the straights in isolation after AA (I'll have a new GEM of dark origin in transit soon, with luck, along with a twisted adjustable), but they will certainly feature more frequently!

    Have a grand one all.

    Cheers

    Marc

    Nineteen days down, twelve to go.

    For the first time I had a real itch for variety. Thankfully my other supplies are tucked away deep in a cabinet.

    I’m kinda shocked that this blade is still working, although only in a marginal fashion. I didn’t notice anything untoward while shaving, the alum did bark quite a bit.

    Now with coffee in hand, it was a decent start for a Monday. Have a good day everyone.

    Straight shave nineteen and another really good one. No cuts or irritation, including not reopening the cut on my jaw that I somehow haven’t been able to successfully avoid until today. The only place the AS stung was the blister on my hand from yardwork yesterday (ouch!). The edge is still going strong, but I am starting to get curious about honing (after AA of course) so that I can keep it that way.

    One of the best things about working from home is that Happy Hour can start damn near right away after you log off.

    Just finished the 750+ mile drive back from WI. Decided to hone tomorrow. Too tired to do a good job of it. Probably should have taken a nap before shaving. Not the best I’ve done at all. Looking forward to honing this and 3 other razors tomorrow. I’m going to touch up the two I previously honed and fixed some small chips. A razor I got from Duke City that listed as shave ready and tested, but it didn’t cut hair on my arm which is much thinner than my beard.

    Brush before tonight’s shave

    Traveling today, I had to say a very hard goodbye as I left my wife and 2 boys as I head out to OK for a few months to learn a new plane. I’ll be able to travel back some to see them but going to be a hard fall apart from them!
