Shaving in the Dark

[Chadao]

Arrived home from a 15 day trip in time for a power outage. Really want a shower and to try out my new bar of da Fat bath soap. But also want to try my new Irisch Moos cream. First time in a year I've used anything but soap.
15 days of shaving with da Fat, learned to face lather when my travel bowl broke. Oh, and just decanted a bottle of the Veg. Quite an evening coming up. Shower first 'cause I enjoy cold water shaving. So da Fat followed by the Veg. Oh, acquired at Merz...bath house Spanish Fig & Nutmeg Shaving Balm is terrific!
No light in the bathroom. No candle 'cause I'm out if matches...so instead of dancing in the dark, I'll be shavin' in the dark.

And here I always thought that MWF also glowed in the dark. This place is so educational!

Drat. If I had matches I could see if tallow burns. BTW, I do have a flashlight.

I would only shave in the dark with the mildest razor in my collection, maybe a Gillette Super Speed Blue Tip or a Schick Injector Type L or type M.

Good luck!

It would take me forever to shave in the dark, I'd end up massaging the lather with my fingertips between passes to figure out where the most stubble was feeling against the grain. By then I'd lose all my wonderful lather...

I brought the lather bowl into my bedroom so I could see what I was doing that. I love the scent of Irisch Moos and it produced a nice lather. I shaved with my Weber PH and a Crystal blade. I didn't cut myself on one WTG and one ATG, but when I applied the Veg it really burned. Now the lights are back on and one look in the mirror tells me, don't shave in the dark!
