The Process-
Pretty much kept the same kit, but there wa a razor change. I scored this Shumate’s Barber from Matt and had to give it a go. A 20 second load time and I whipped up a really nice lather.

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 ... wait ... what?! This thing bit me on the neck. My fault, I lost focus. Not a bad cut, it was minimal fluid loss and it stopped before I finished shaving. Well, in spite of the boo boo, I am BBS for the win!

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! Good shave, I’ll have to do that again tomorrow. Life is good!

Sorry about the surprise bite Tim
