Cold shower?!?
 
Long time between posts but good to see many more straight razor shaves as SOTD.
Razor: Wonderful blade from Procerpine razors QLD.
Soap: Still really pleased with Derby stick.
Post shave: Isopropyl Alcohol slash. Highlights technique extremely well :)
This is an old image but the razor is still as beautiful.

It seems like ages since I last visited this soap, but I guess it must have been just a few weeks. It must be a terrible thing to have dozens (or hundreds) of soaps and feel obliged to move on rather than being able to revisit old friends... :unsure:
