Tuesday Stag shave, and all is well. Great finish and a manly scent, to boot.

(Also, if any of you fine souls here need 14 or so bowling balls secretly installed in your car trunk when you're not looking, let me know and I'll try to something out.)

Another “budget” shave: slurry lather and two quick passes. Today’s shave was better than the last two days, and yesterday’s was pretty good. 20 shaves in and I’m thinking about my next straight razor. What would be the way to go from the Hartford 4/8 Extra Hollow?

Have a nice day and kind to one another.

Blade is feeling rough and tuggy but I think I’ll be able to get another 7 day growth shave and get it to 100 shaves.

2g of soap was used today

4 sprays

Is everyone still in love with their choices? Any ragrets in software or gear selection? How about any purchases made due to the fact that any variety is starting to look pretty dang good?

My only regret so far is just that I wish I'd gone with a larger knot. Not detrimental by any means and definitely still serviceable for the month.
