Just had my first (leg) shave with the Gold Dollar 208 jreiter22 honed for me. Have some creams coming from CarrieM, but used some Rosewood shave soaps from Connaught Shaving this time around.

Initial reaction is that I need some practice to get a closer shave, but WOW, why on earth doesn't everyone know about these? The soaps in particular are just SO much better than anything I've ever tried before.

Happy now.

Glad my boyfriend wanted a straight and started me doing Christmas research... (And he loves his, too!)
