[Bobtrumpet]

Prep: Kyle's Prep (it's always Kyle's Prep - with Proraso pre-shave cream)
Razor: Muhle R89 (new design Muhle-EJ head)
Blade: Red Pack Personna
Soap/Cream: Coates Tea Tree SC (thanks, texquill!)
Brush: C&E BBB
Aftershave: Booster's Iced Lime

Great shave. Now I understand the Coates' mystique. It's a shame - I wish someone could start it up again.

And I love my R89.

Thanks for reading!

My Slant was in our other bathroom across the house so I grabbed my HD and loaded it with a feather. It mowed through my three day old beard like a knife through warm butter. What a great combo

Close to DFS today. Comfortable shave. I had forgotten how nice T&H Grafton SC was, as I have been using soaps exclusively for quite some time.

I'm on a quest to use my Tech for two weeks or more to see whether technique will improve enough for the Tech to challenge my injector. It's getting better, but I miss using the injector.
