Man super bummed Dr. Jon's is no more. I bought a bunch of samples when he announced he was done and everything lathers well and easily and I loved his simple scents in the essentials line. All are fantastic options for daily drivers. His products are vegan so should fit the bill for today's theme.

My single edge shave today was provided by my first ever straight razor acquisition, the Friedrich Herder Abraham Sohn 49. It was purchased and restored from the Razor Emporium and It has seen me through the first butcher jobs to getting super good enough shaves haha. Every once in a while when my stropping is just right and my technique is good I get shaves that surprise me in their quality and they always make a smile reach across my ugly mug.

Shaving everyday is definitely new for me though. After the karve shave yesterday, I just did a single pass against the grain. Worked out pretty, pretty, pretty good. I hope everyone is enjoying the first week of the Lather games.

Good luck and God's speed.
