Joseph Elliot’s Best Silver Steel
Absent minded... skinned the cat all cattywampus.
Wade & Butcher Bow razor
Speick stick / cheap Vulfix boar
Just shave 2 with this razor. Gave it the full diamond/balsa progression, then did the shave all wrong. Forgot about my usual prep, forgot the linen and leather, made a thick pasty lather and forgot about correcting it. Then I somehow managed a meticulous shave without a single thought to the routine I'd forgotten. The paste lather covered up any harshness in the raw diamond edge. The two day+ stubble was coming off quickly. I finally snapped out of it when I turned to do the drying laps on linen and leather. Dumb luck.

So much for sleepy time shaving.
I'll be interested to try undiluted glycerin. Appreciate your sharing experiences with the la lune. By coincidence just yesterday I received a bottle of that same Myrsol in a Griffiths order (green slate) for the same dang reason (heat).
Where'd you get that nice metal tube for the shave stick?
