Closer still…

Today I'm using a sample of Barrister and Mann's Lavender shaving soap purchased from Maggards for today. I thought it would go nicely with the sample of Lavender interrupted they were giving out at the meet up. I'm not sure I am the biggest fan of Lavendercentric scents but everything is top notch performance wise and the combo is pleasant and unobtrusive.

I did snap some pics of my back porch outside shave. Just took the bowl of lather, my straight and a paper towel for wiping the blade off. I didn't have a portable mirror and used my reflection in a window. It was difficult to say the least and I abused my sideburns a little a gave myself a tiny wack on my chin. I don't reccomend it. At least my ⅞ width straight razor is like a snow shovel and I was able to whip out 1 shoddy pass very quickly. It's so hot in Chicago right now. At least I smell nice.
