We were talking about this and that, and the conversation came around to straight razors and shavettes. I was thinking of buying one, just to see if it was for me. Yadda-yadda-yadda, he offers to lend me one of his shavettes to try out. It was one of those no-name inexpensive stainless ones.
World Barber Day!
Here's what came of it.
SOTN Monday, Sept. 20.

prep - shower with Caprina Fresh Goat’s Milk Original Formula bar soap
razor - no-name shavette / Henson AL13 Mild
blade - 1/2 Astra SP (1), then Derby Extra (9)
brush - Fendrihan Classic Pure Grey Badger
soap - Tabac
post - warm water rinse, DSA “Pure & Natural” alum, cold water rinse
aftershave - Clubman Classic Vanilla
music - Moon Phase Radio
I mostly selected nice dependable favourites for hardware and software, instead of following my usual rotation.
The Henson was on the bench in case I chickened out had a change of heart.
I rehearsed without a blade just to see how I'd probably want to hold it in different areas.
Thirty seconds into the real thing, I end up like this, plus two more tiny weepers farther down my jaw.

I felt like one of those "Academic Fencing" guys at Heidelberg University.
This called for a liberal application of the styptic pencil, which pretty much took care of it, to my surprise.
Okay Henson, you're up!
I ended up with a nice comfortable (everywhere else) BBS.
It could be a while before I try it again (if ever).
--------------- classic Academic Fencing outcomes, for context --------------
I'm not sure if these were the winners or the losers.
