Tues Jan 10
Brush: Vie-Long Boar
Soap/Creme: MWF
Razor: Shumate Barber followed by a Gillette Old
Blade: Astra Sp in the old.. I think.
Pre: Hot Towel
Post: Alum and Witch Hazel
Hair Groom: Gables Cream Oil
Result: The new little boar did great with the MWF, which was a good thing, since my straight razor skills aren't exactly first rate ( including my stropping skills, apparently, since the razor was a lot sharper the previous time I'd used it, despite my best efforts). Still, I managed 2 passes of reduction with it without any nicks. I finished up with a Gillette old, since it just felt right to use my oldest vintage DE razor to finish up a shave with my vintage straight.
