100 Straight Razor shaves! I’m still not 100% confident using a straight, but I think my proficiency is “good”. I figured it was as good a reason as any to try stropping 100 times, and I can confidently say it didn’t make any difference at all compared to what I’ve been doing (around 70 laps).
This shave was ever so slightly rough. The lather felt good, looked good, and felt slick, but I might have overdone it with the water.
This puck of Tabac smells more floral than my tallow puck which is older. The vegan one smells closer to the aftershave. I wonder if it has to do with age, the soap base, or a little bit of both.
