This rambling stream of shaving consciousness is intended to replace entries in my paper journals. Most will not find these entries interesting, entertaining, or enlightening. You have been warned.
Today's shave was simply outstanding. The Dorko continues to shave like a dream. Finally having my chin fully dialed in, regardless of the razor or the soap, has increased the comfort of my shaves immensely, and has decreased the time required to get out of the bathroom accordingly. Frankly, even a month ago I would not have had the confidence to zip around my chin the way the blade can now.
This was another one of those shaves that had me thanking the razor and Doc226 mid-shave. It's somewhat disconcerting to be calling out a guy's name from the bathroom, but some shaves deserve due credit.
Perhaps the biggest inhibitor to my shaves right now is the blasted lighting in the bathroom. This was never a problem with carts or DEs. I think the simplicity of the straight razor has offsetting demands on preparation and other shaving conditions, including lighting.
Besides the Dorko, I used MRGLO, MWF (nailed it), and Proraso white with Florida Water.
Despite swimming laps in a chlorine pool this morning, my skin feels just great.
