I get it. I'm not breaking any new ground with this post. Chances are if you're a member here you already know this.
Wet shaving is relaxing. Perhaps even therapeutic. Definitely it can be meditative.
Last night was just horrid. Events and circumstances left me livid and out of sorts. I was not in my right mind. After nearly deciding to just go to sleep angry I opted instead for a late-night shave.
That's when I found my good strop missing. (Eventually discovered my daughter had put it in the dirty laundry. Good grief.)
Nevertheless I went through the routine, starting with stroping the SR with my much too narrow beginner's strop.
I couldn't find my new sample soaps either. This wasn't looking too promising.
In fact, I even nicked myself mildly for the first time in several shaves. I blame switching to the less familiar razor.
And at the end?
I found myself calmed. Relaxed. No longer fuming. In fact, I was nearly smiling.
Even when I discovered the aforementioned strop in the laundry buried under wet clothes. (Hey. I said "nearly smiling."
This is such a great hobby.
