As some of you know, I just ordered my first cutthroat razor and by this point, I'm all a'flutter with anticipation, itching for my first shave.

Earlier today, I became caught up in lather/cream instructional videos and found that for many classic shavors, this is their most enjoyable part of the process; mixing oils and scents with warm relaxing soaps and the like. Well, I couldn't wait.

I went to Wal-Mart to buy a cheap kit just to practice with and get the feel for creating my own lather, and chose an 8 dollar kit that came with hypo-allergenic soap, cheap boar brush, and a stone bowl that was actually pretty decent.

Needless to say, it was junk, but it still offered a fresh new shave for me as of then unexperienced in my life and I was diggin' it pretty hard.

Can't wait for the good stuff.
