Today’s shave was a particularly late one had a really difficult day..had my dog of nearly 16 years put to sleep, she has been with us through an awful lot including surviving a house fire on Christmas Day very sad day but finished with a beautiful shave so this one was is dedicated to her..one of the nicest creatures to grace this earth she really was a gem
Thanks T for you’re kind words means a lot they are our best friends, she honestly was an absolute dream couldn’t have asked for better..she never once did a thing wrong she was the most biddable dog I’ve ever seen..the post man had to stride over her every morning as she lay out on the doorstep enjoying the fresh air she never moved just happy to sit a watch the world go by...one in a million I think24/04/21

A cold water face wash to start then a Face full of soft badger to apply the wonderfully slick HWF lather, i still don't get the "Barnyard" tag.
I completed a 2 pass shave routine with some touch up on the whirlpools to leave me with a DFS+ finish.
Although the blade was really smooth during the WTG & XTG strokes it seems it was struggling a little on ATG strokes, i am sure i can improve the edge.
The Böker was my 1st Attempt on a "New" razor a couple of months ago and i think i was a little too gentle with it, now i am more confident my skill level has improved, so, back to the hones for this baby.
So sad to hear your bad news Jay, our Dogs truly do give unconditional love and expect nothing in return. I am dreading going through it myself.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
