Back to Basics. Isn't that what all are trying for, back to the good old ways. After buying shaving stuff that now sits in a drawer. I have it down to a George Wostenholm & Sons Sheffield 5/8 blade that I got for $18, Arko shaving stick, Omega boar hair brush and a good 3" wide strop. I'm getting the best shaves ever, and look forward to shaving every morning with cold water.
I do have a Norton 4k/8k and a DMT Course.
