First Traditional straight shave done...
Well, that went without a hitch...
I have some experience with the Feather system and a few shavettes, but tonight was the first traditional straight shave..
Not nearly as sharp as I expected, or hoped.
Hot shower (after the gym)
Cold Water Shave
CO Bigelow and Rooney Heritage 2XL, just to make lathering a non-issue
Henry Sears & Sons 7/8
Found myself using the toe more than the rest of the blade, possibly because I am coming from a Feather AC non-folding.. or, who knows.
Two passes... WTG & XTG.
Stalled a few times, maybe because I am getting used to manipulating the scales around.
Cold water rinse and finished with Menthol spike Proraso ASB.
Best indicator of shave results is about 60 - 90 minutes post shave as my face settles in. Right now, it feels like I need another pass or two.
Call it a DFS+
No irritation, no runs, no weepers or other nasties.
Call it a success.
