I had a late start and shaved over lunch break. Last week was 1 emergency room visit (turned out to be non-serious), going drinking with a friend who got laid off, and 4 birthday parties (three of which were mine, but I feel like complaining anyway). I needed a weekend, I got a Monday 🥴
Nice shave, though.

I'm such a lightweight, I feel hung over just reading this.

This shave started off great, and the difference in how this razor works now compared to my first straight razor shave with it is night and day. Technique really makes a difference!
Unfortunately I had to get the styptic pencil out, but hey... could have been worse. The shave itself is decently close. I haven't used SW in a while, though I have killed 3 tubs of it in the past. Despite having "loads" of experience with the base, I feel like the lather wasn't quite dialed in this time.

Very good. This razor performs excellently for me, and I really like Mike's base. It's a strong contender for my AA base this August.
