  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Rheingold Licht Werk Magnetic Blue Steel - Solingen - 6/8 Half Hollow
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Batters Up - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum

My first mostly-left-handed straight razor shave is in the books. I actually found it easier than when I used a DE left handed yesterday, probably because even when using my dominant hand to shave with a straight, I still use my left hand for some moves. So my left hand has held a straight razor plenty of times before, but has never held a DE.

For those wondering "why", my right thumb area has been bothering me for over 2 years and I've decided it's time to avoid anything that might bother it so it can have a chance to heal.

Results are excellent, and no cuts which is good because I'm on call for work today. I don't want to show up with a big red line on my face.

    I thought that I might have just enough time to get this shave in this evening, and I'm very happy that I didn't skip it. I always enjoy Seville. It was a great reward for making the effort to do this shave.

    I'm falling behind on BBS November's schedule due to a bit of chaos in my own routine. Wonderful shave today, though. The Sessions Series from Will has the grit and soul that you would expect. This one is amazing:

    Bitter roasted coffee
    Deep jammy balsam fir
    Pine sap
    Black salt

    I’m falling behind on BBS November’s schedule due to a bit of chaos in my own routine.

    That damn life just can't help but get in the way!

    I'm glad to have you with me for as many shaves as you can manage. :)

    Starting tomorrow, I'm going to put in a couple of "catch-up" days, but chaos is returning in full force in about 10 days and will go through the month. It will be fun to see if I can catch up, then stay on schedule through all of that.

    Woot! Flexing the Woolly Wash today. It's such a nice base.

    I'm doing a walk through my den based on the position of my soaps in storage, hence the 3 WW shaves in a row. :)

    And I agree. It's an excellent base and the scents are simple yet pleasant.

    There are a couple scents from them that I haven't tried. In moments of weakness I've thought about organizing another group buy...
