    Default First 'Complete' Straight Shave...

    Today was a special SOTD for me...my first 'complete' straight razor shave!

    Here's the tool of beard devastation from MSondoval858 (thanks Mike!):



    30 passes on the strop plus...

    * C&E Best Brush
    * Derby Lavender Cream
    * C&E Nomad After Shave Balm

    Not a bad shave...here's my review:

    * Was it as close as my Merkur HD or Progress?...Not yet!
    * Did I cut my throat?...Nope...just a couple of weepers
    * Am I intrigued?...Yuppers!
    * Have I turned to the 'Dark Side'?...Ummmm...maybe...partially!

    Nice one! You'll beat those DE shaves eventually.

    Dark Side? That would be Gillette surely?
