The process-
It’s the weekend and I went random. Thought I would grab a brush I haven’t used in awhile, the Omega 10019. It’s the first boar brush I picked up and runs about $8. I’ve had this for about 1.5 years and put a lot of shaves on it. It has broken in well and is soft, but doesn’t splay much. It also has backbone for days. Anyway, it tore into the soap and a 20 second load time was more than enough. Whipped up a really nice lather and got to it. I may have mentioned before that the CBL Fougere has a nice light scent.
I have the J Allen right where I want it edge wise, so the Torrey got the nod today. I have been lax, so I need to work back through them all and make sure they are all dialed in. Hinge pin needs a bit of tightening, so I may do that today. A quick 40 laps on leather for this one. I went with my standard three pass shave of WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. That was a great shave and I am BBS for the win! No tweaking needed except for the pin. Man ... I really dig a great shave.
Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a drip dry. Hit it with a glug of the AS and everything was right as rain! Truly outstanding!
Home Front-
Mowing is the task for the day ... yuck. Will wrap up the day with dinner and a movie with the missus. Not sure what else the weekend holds. But start with a great shave and end with a date night ... Life is good!
