So today I received my Dunning's Best 65 I purchased from ShavedZombie during the holiday weekend. Of course I couldn't wait to give it a go and dove right in(head first into the shallow end of the kiddie pool).

Firstly, I don't like the boar brush. I've already ordered a pure badger and some clubman aftershave. We'll see how that goes next week.
Second, my angle was off in curtain areas, which I expected to happen, so I have mixed results. My trouble area definitely under my jawline. My skin is pretty tight in my face and almost laminated directly under my jaw.
Lastly, I need alum block.

If I was a patient man I would've heeded the slow introduction to straight shaving guide I read through twice. Apparently some things never change and I couldn't put the razor down. It took me 3 passing to get a smooth shave on my entire face. I surrendered to the stubble under my jaw and let my razor burned face cool off.

I'll try again tomorrow.
