Lovely shave this morning.

Decided to do a little data collecting.
Prep, 7 minutes - hot shower and shampoo
Shave, 32 minutes - Included lather making, three full passes (no need for cleanups), rinse, and alum
Post-shave, 18 minutes - Included post-shave oil, moisturizer, aftershave, brushing teeth, taking medications, hair styling cleaning up.

So that's just under an hour for my morning routine. I know some want to spend as little time as possible, and I say more power to them. But I like my routine. It help's me get my head on straight for whatever follows.

As you may have noticed, that is an Asian elephant. It was carved and given to me by the father of a girl I knew in Yangon about 8 years ago. I think he wanted me to marry his rather good looking daughter.

My love cannot be bought (cheap). If he had gaven me a M7DS of Fili 14's, she may have one my heart.
 
I'd really come to truly love the current TI standard 5/8 full hollow model. A third and absolutely final specimen turned up about a week ago. Since it's Saturday I put last weeks Dovo Carré back into the cabinet and picked my new TI, wiped off the last of the grease TI had put on the blade, stropped it and went to town. It definitely was shave ready out of the box and the edge was really good too so I had a really nice three pass BBS shave.
