Have a nice day and kind to one another.

Straight shave twenty-three. Delightful. I’m really happy with my AA choices. Alive is still delightful each day. The brush is getting really good, and I’m especially enjoying learning to shave with a straight razor.

This was my first 3-pass shave in a very long time. To date, all of my 2-pass shaves have been comfortable and BBS, but closer to BBS-- than BBS++. Today's shave was definitely a DS-BBS shave so:

BBS++;

I plan to continue this 3-pass pattern for the rest of the month. I'm way out of practice with it.

• Prep: Face wash soap/warm water, and stropping, and stropping

• Razor: Ralf Aust - Ralf Aust 5/8" Round Point Straight Razor
• Lather: House of Mammoth – Uitwaaien
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Uitwaaien (Splash)

I see my brush is ready to loose another bristle.

You know I got to looking at my aftershave and realized how very little of it I use each time I shave. Just odd. I guess that explains why I have gone through soaps bought as a set and still have the aftershave to show for it. I don't slather it on because my wife is sometimes bothered by it. But wow. Not going through it fast this month.

Take care and have a good one

Today I went back to my normal loading style, load fairly short to have just enough un-watered lather to completely cover my skin, followed by slowly dripping water on the bristles. This method leaves me with a thinner second pass but I like it this way. My private saxophone teacher is really glad I quit marching band because he hates marching band and now I have time for real practice; needless to say today's lesson went well.
