Dr Rick said:Ouch, Jamie! Well, I had a less painful morning, but not an ideal one... new kettle as my old one was doing a dying swan over the last few months, so all my pouring reflexes are off. So I poured boiling water all over the counter, from which it splashed all over my weight shin and ankle. And, it turns out, I accidentally used the wrong container of tea - don't particularly want to be drinking chai at 9 am.
So, a shave with my right foot in a washing-up bowl of cold water. What will go wrong now?
This morning:
Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap, cold
Razor: Kropp 6/8", restored by UKRob (first time used by me)
Brush: New Forest High Mountain Badger
Soap: Taylor's Jermyn Street
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Red Ginger
What a beautiful razor. What a fabulous shave. Did the extra neck pass I have been habitually doing with a honing straight, and am actually as close as I ever got with the Feather on my neck. Completely comfortable, highly enjoyable. Soaked the lather longer than I would with the AC, which may have paid off.
So an excellent, satisfying shave, and I think my foot has survived its baptism too.
