The Deets-
A great shave today. The only change was the soap and Stirling always does a good job for me. A 30 second load time was all it took to work some magic.

10 laps on cotton and 40 on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. I am enjoying this JNat edge and I walked away BBS for the win! Then a nice warm post shave lather.

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Yes it was. Thunderstorms today so just kicking back for a chill day. Life is good!

Thanks Eric! I have several olds ones. I just never cleaned up the Reynolds.

I have a couple of straights that, after cleaning them up, thought they looked better with some age on them. That one is just cool looking.

Pre Shave-
Strop: Tony Miller Plain Vanilla
Scuttle: none

Razor: Reynolds SR
Blade: none
Brush: RR 400
Soap: Los Jabones de Joserra Brihuega sample

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: Florida Water

The Deets-
Trying another sample from Mike. I typed that mouthful once already, so look up if you want to see the name. Goodness. I cannot begin to describe this scent ... I got nothing for you. It was a bit strong on the puck, but mellowed out when lathered. I don’t usually use a synth, but I wanted to make sure I like this handle before a natural knot goes in it. So with the synth, I accidentally dumped a bunch of water to it. Surprisingly the soap didn’t break. I just stayed after it and it whipped up a nice lather.

3 easy peasy passes and I am BBS for the win! Wrapped everything up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! You know it. Sun is shining and a high of 84 today. Life is good!
