My first Straight Razor kit
I've been researching for a while now, and i've started to put together my first Straight Razor shaving kit. I drive a Peterbilt full time, so i was looking at ways that i could still have a real shave even when i'm over the road, so the idea was to try and minimize my equipment and reduce preparation times so i'm not taking a long time in truck stops. I decided to skip the brush and soap method for now, and go with shaving oil for over the road use. In the meantime, i will be researching brushes, soaps and pre/post treatments so i can have a luxury shave when i get home.
Here's what i have put together so far...
I'm originally from Yorkshire, so i would like to start a collection of razors from back home at some point, but for now i've decided that i'd like to go with an ERN collection, so i got a few Crown and Sword razors. I got the white one to use as my daily workhorse, and the other 2 boxed razors to start an unused collection, although maybe i'll start a rotation with all 3 razors. The 2 boxed razors are in the post, so i'm eagerly awaiting there arrival!
I decided to go with Lynn Abrams Modular Paddle Strop. It seems perfect for over the road use, and i love the concept of this strop. The design and quality of this strop is amazing.
I went with Village Barber shaving oil and shaving balm. As i mentioned above, this will help me reduce the amount of kit i'm taking around with me, and reduces preparation times.
Thanks to the forum for all of the valuable information. I think i'm ready to take my first real shave.Last edited by RiseAbove; 05-31-2016 at 09:26 PM.
