“There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey.
When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do."
John Ruskin

Sunday night shave
shower
Wapienica 5/8 -> no stropping (I want to see how little I can strop and still get good shaves... the experiment continues...)
C.E. Bigelow (rhymes with giggolo) rebranded Proraso shave cream
1x WTG -> hot towel -> relather
1x XTG -> hot towel -> relather
1x ATG -> CWR -> Superior 70 Bay Rum -> BBS on cheeks, ATG the slightest stubble under jawline
This lather felt a lot "drier" and less slick than Kiss My Face shave cream lather... hmmm... to be continued...

Lanolin Overload!!!!
This was a great shave this morning I have upped the strop laps into the 75 range and the smoothness factor has paid huge dividends...
This particular razor I believe is my sharpest razor but it has never given me the smoothest shave, by stropping more, I seem to be getting some nice smooth shaves from some of the super sharp Solingen edges.....

Hot shower
Sanguine razor
Used my TM #2, 40 laps on linen, 40 laps on the leather.
My favorite stainless steel shaving mug. I have a soft spot for stainless steel mugs.
Williams Shaving Mug soap
CVS store brand Cool Menthol aftershave
Gillete series aftershave lotion
2 passes WTG, 1 pass ATG. Great BBS shave. This Sanguine is not a bad razor, just has to be honed about every 2 months. The Gillete series aftershave lotion has a nice fragrance that I really like.
