Shave No: 8
Strop: Star Shaving 3" Black Latigo - 20/50 Pre/Post
Time Since Last Hone: 5 Shaves
Hones: Unknown
Time Since Last Touch Up: 0 Shaves
Touch Up: Chromox 0.5 Micron on Balsa / 5 Laps
Prep: Shower, scrub beard with Cetaphil, rinse, repeat, hydrate well
Brush: Mühle silver tip
Software: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Razor: Gold Dollar - 3/4 - Round Point
Growth (days): 1
Method: Three Passes - WTG, WTG, some XTG / ATG
Post: WH / Osage Rub / Proraso Menthol Green
Results: CCS+ No cuts, nicks, weepers. Minor glow at base of neck
Remarks: The touch-up seemed to work well, even though I admittedly wouldn't have known if it had degraded the edge slightly. Either way, the new strop and first touch-up was good enough for my skill level. Also nice that things went well after a week-long hiatus.
Questions: None today
Work On: Stretching the skin! Angle, Stropping, Pressure, Proper Handling, etc.
