Today started off very nicely, especially after yesterdays disappointment. 'Twas neither smooth nor close. The alum block really told the story, and I even had to clean up with the DE, which I haven't had to do for some time. I'm going to have to experiment a bit this week to see if this was the razor or not. I'm finding that I thinkt hat soaps are starting to give me better shaves with the straight razor than creams.
 
5/8 Fabrieks Merk, stropped on Armbrose linen, ebano and finished with Tony Miller's latigo
Palmolive Soap
Fonex Boar Brush
Old Spice to finish

I'm a happy shaver!
