July 27
-M3
-Wilkinson Sword Brush
-Wilkinson Sword shave soap w/ warm tap water
-AV sport

Work called 3 hours early so I needed a guaranteed quick, passable shave.
The lather was too wet, not hot enough and all it did was remind me why I started using the old methods in the first place.

July 28
-Timber Rattler straight
-Wilkinson Sword Brush
-Williams Soap
-Old Spice

Also shaved a friend with the same set up. Too nervous to do it himself, but trusted me, scary.

July 29
-"Professional Barber" Straight
-Omega Boar/Beech
-Proraso green soap
-AV sport
