Effortless shave. These EJ creams perform a lot better than I expected. Would give TOBS a run I’d think.

1. Preshave: Cyril R Salter - Lavender
2. Razor: Dovo Bismark, 6/8, full hollow
3. Soap: B&M Cologne Russe
4. Brush: Omega boar
5. Postshave: Proraso green splash
6. Earworm: I Predict A Riot - Kaiser Chiefs

The straight that started my journey down the cut throat rabbit hole and one of my favourite soaps. If I were stranded on a desert island I would definitely chose to have this soap with me. Quick one pass, with close enough results for work. Don't want to sound cocky, but think I am getting the hang of this straight razor game. Now to up my honing skills.

Pre: Warm water, Crew oil
Razor: Gillette Slim H-1 1962 (5)
Blade: Gillette Nacet (1)
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk2
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Squadron Red Lead
Post: Old Spice
The Squadron Red Lead pairs nicely with old spice. Two passes and touch up for a DFS.

 

[bald as]

Easy single pass with a couple of touch ups for a very healthy DFS.

One of my own soaps that is really good for a straight shave but I cannot find the recipe to re make it. !!!.
