Okay. So today's shave was much smoother than yesterday, much thanks to some tips and tricks that I received from multiple sources! I did continue to slice my face, and it took multiple passes but it was better than yesterday. I am seeing why people love straights so much. They're so relaxing, you know, besides the continual face slicing.

There's something about the prep. The stropping, specifically. I really love this. So let's hope I can keep it up. I may even, after August is over, buy some synthetic honing stones and learn to hone my Razor so I can learn every aspect of maintenance. I may also start looking at making scales.

All in all, 6/10 Shave today, but as I get more used to it I'm sure it will get better. I'm glad I decided to participate.

Duty tomorrow, let's look into getting a Navy duty day sotd pic I guess! Happy Saturday all!
