OK Shave last night

Wielded my Merkur DE
Lathered up with C.O. Bigelow and my E.J. Brush
Prep was a hot shower

2 passes, WTG and ATG. Got some razorburn on my neck. My skin in general has been very dry lately, so I believe this has contributed to it. I'll have to do a better job of keeping it moisturized. Been working some crazy hours lately so in the interest of not damaging my strop, straight razor, or myself, I have been using my DE more lately.

Have a great day.

Hard to believe it's been a little over a year since I ditched my cartridge razor. I have to say I don't regret it one bit. My face has felt great and I enjoy using razors that were made before my Grandparents were born and still work flawlessly.

Have a great day and a Happy New Year.
