    Making the shift from evening shaves to morning so I shaved yesterday afternoon and now ths morning. Good shave to start the day and I smell great.

    Brush was still wet from use yesterday afternoon, but, got the job done just fine. Pics in Album

    Headed out of town after church today for 3 days and 2 nights at a cabin with no wifi, cell service, or other connectedness so I'll have to drive up to the road to post tomorrows shave, but, worth it. So looking forward to a few days as a family before life gets crazy again.

    Have a good day!

    3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave. $headless $FriodomRiders #NoStrop

    Today I went back to a 3-pass shave. After both the first and second passes, though, the gradual decline of the razor's keenness finally became noticable. The razor is totally comfortable, and a 2-pass shave will still be a "good" shave, but I need three passes to get BBS easily. I expect that this is the way I'll finish out the month.

    Edge is no longer ideal. Wasn't freshly honed going in. Should make it.

    Take care and have a good one

    Straight shave twenty-five and less than a week to go. Two steps forward one step back. Yesterday I said that WTG had become comfortable and predictable and today two WTG passes led to four weepers. They stopped quickly and my face is pretty smooth, so I’ll still call this a decent shave.

    Ok I think we can finally say that we’re in the home stretch. Brush feels broken in at this point, I’m sure it will continue to soften but progress going forward will probably be incremental

    AA is almost over so I am starting to think about Sept 1st shave, so far I'm thinking Brassbird, Cotton Candy v24, and probably SIL. Weather will also affect my choice.

    Late post again as I finish up laundry and prep for the week. No complaints, nothing of note. Still having great shaves with the Frio and this awesome boar brush.
