last night:
pre-shave:
hot bath
olive oil shampoo (softens whiskers nicely)
Ogallala Bay Rum pre-shave - same as the a/s but can also be use as p/s
Ogallala Bay Rum
EverReady pure badger
Wade & Butcher 5/8 barber point
loom strop
Alum block
Ogallala Bay Rum a/s
3 passes, bbs
I decided that I hadn't been getting warm enough lather, so I employed an old percolator coffee pot (electric) so I had plenty of hot water whenever I need it. It really worked out well.
