The Scandal Sheet: Straights and other stuff

Good ideas. Need to try that
Now I'm not suggesting you do this but it worked for a very expensive pair of lace up half boots I bought 15 years ago. I could never get them broken in or stretched so they were comfortable. So I soaked them in the tub overnight. Yep. Then I put 2 pairs of socks on and wore them to work for the day. I also walked to work. I had a couple extra pairs of socks to change during the day. Anyway, it worked they stretched out perfectly and I can wear them anytime now. I also treated them with neatsfoot oil after the soaking and wearing as well.
 
Pulled out my Shell today, what a nice edge this razor has. Pretty effortless. Soap was PdP, sloppily lathered and applied with a Vielong synth. Found a lonesome Feather so I loaded it into the R41 and finished off another tuck. Only issue today was one of the blemishes I planed off yesterday kind of wanted to catch my blade. No extra blood but it was a little uncomfortable. My skin doesn't heal as fast as it used to. Neither does the rest of me, I guess.

Busy day ahead with kid stuff and a gig this afternoon, first of three. It's just backing up a choir for one of those semi-modern Christmas cantatas that the Nashville publishers crank out every year.

Be well.
