A really nice shave today although i did nick myself just under my bottom lip, i was completing a R to L stroke using the left hand on the lip-line and just tagged myself, nothing major and the cold water rinse sorted it out, it was then i realised i do not normally do this stroke with a straight razor - what a plonker!
The shave helped along by the wonderful lather, today i used the Captains choice heavyweight copper, it has been neglected for a while. The signature soap exploded giving me plenty of the good stuff for the shave.
Anyway, a very close comfortable shave from 2 passes and a touch up.
I think during this weeks shaves i will be doing some sneaky practice strokes with the newly acquired DX as i need to get a hang of the handle and grip.
The dreaded C-19 has crossed the threshold of Casa TC, Mrs TC tested Positive on her PCR yesterday, i believe it will not be long before it catches me also, luckily we are both fully Jabbed with booster's.
Not bad since we have both been working in the Petri dishes of the NHS and a Primary school.
Hey-Ho! Hopefully it will not affect us too badly.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
Have a nice weekend in the right county. Don’t forget to tell all the residents of Wisctun about the shaving soapGet up for an early start to drive over to Yorkshire and hey, the first in on this weeks SOTD. A rare moment. Use the bathroom and a further hey, what's this? Beaten to it by @Palmolive fox and his swede shaving act. Drat! So this one goes to you with the theme 'Party pooper'

Uninvited guest - Stainless Colonial General
And you are? - Feather Professional
Occupooper - AP Shaving brass 30mm Cashmere
Fun sponge - Martin De Candre Agrumes
Poopy pants McSpankalot - ADP Assoluta
A great start using the 'just can't get it wrong' stainless General and the MDC. Only I did get it wrong and for the first time in a long time, I cut myself. Not badly but enough to raise a curse. So it is now a frog.
'And the General hopped his way to a brighter future. Followed by some lunatic who thinks he's a frog'
Otherwise an exemplary shave (complete with a nick) and smelling very lemon this morning. And Palmolive Fox. Will you stop shaving swedes.
Have a most wonderful weekend you most fantastic forum folk and always remember, I love you all.
Something nice and bouncy to start the weekend and a video you must have seen quite a few times by now but one which still makes me feel happy.
Thanks Tony. Hope your wife gets over it quickly, without any nasties. Regards Brian05/02/22
