Skipped a shave yesterday :001_tt2:, so I took my time today, gave the whiskers time to soak in some softening moisture. Made sure the Wade and Butcher was good and sharp (last night it went from the stones to the strops) with a preshave 20 strokes on leather today. Combined short and long strokes.

Two passes, and I have been trying something different. Maybe you do this too? On my first wtg pass, I lather everything. On my second xtg pass, I lather up and shave in zones: neck/cheeks/front. Seems to help with limiting irritation on the second pass.


Have a very pleasant Wednesday evening, Gentlemen!

Still not feeling great with this stomach bug, but had to shave, if only with one pass. Not the BBS I like, although closer than with a DE one pass.
