Today the Weck shave went much better. I was less tense and held the blade more flat to my face and it was relatively comfortable all things considered. Also trying the 322 as pre shave. Brush even felt noticeably better as well. $Rawhoggin $monthofmikes $headless
Wonderful shave again. I had forgotten just how good the soft heart base is. I got lots of compliments from my wife about the frag, too, so that's nice.
Tomorrow is a travel day again, we're leaving Turkey and flying to Berlin to visit family. Hoping there's no luggage hiccup

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I am really enjoying I, Rich Moose. The scent and lather are perfect. As I did last August, this month I am forgoing stropping my straight. Although I only did my normal 2-pass shave yesterday, I plan to do 3-pass shaves for the rest of the month. Let's see how the edge holds up under this extra stress.
