A shave journal is something that I should have been keeping all along. I dont know why I didn't have one. But now is as good of a time as any to start one!
With a huge arsenal of shaving gear and software, I will document my shaves here. If I can help even one person figure out one little detail of their shaves, then this will be a success.
I will also write about some legacy shaves as well. There have been some amazing razors that have come in and out of my den. And even though I may not have them any more, they will deserve mention here.
As an every 2 to 3 day shaver, I tend to stick to the more aggressive and efficient razors now. And I normally use a DE razor. But that wasn't always the case. For years I was a mild razor aficionado. I preferred blade neutral mild razors for every shave. Tech's, DE89, Game Changers, etc. I amassed a sizable collection of vintage DE's, GEM's, Injectors, and AC razors looking for that smooth mild shave. I had a bunch of more aggressive razors too, but I didn't use them too much because of the irritation etc. I loved the close shave results, but didn't need the drama. But then I learned how to shave steep! (Thanks @Hannah's Dad!) And that changed everything. I had begun to seek out more and more efficiency from my razors, which led me down a different road. Maybe not a better road, but definitely a more expensive road. And this hobby became more enjoyable.
So stick around for a while. Enjoy my writing. And maybe pick up a tidbit of info every now and again.
Stay smooth!

I can’t say I’ve ever achieved this feat in the past. But today I did it. I really miss the closeness of that third pass. Especially in the neck areas. But I will thank myself later. I know I will!
