Prep: Kiehls Facefuel
Prep Molton Brown shave oil
Brush: C & E pure badger
Lather: Penhaligon's Blenheim soap
Razor: W&B Bow 5/8
Post: GFT Coral skin food
The W&B Bow razor is another eBay purchase, this razor hd been bread knifed and was a mission to get a decent bevel. After the second attempt on the 3k did not do it, I ordered a 1k Choosera, and started again using 45deg strokes till it was sharp and uniform, finished on coticule and ZG. I prefer bigger razors but this was a nice shave
Straight razor shaving is like motorcycling both require full attention and continuos learning and honing of skills...

Cold water face lathered shave. Well satisfied with this razor on it's first official shave, seems to have taken a decent edge.

Again a test shave
I did two razors this day. I shaved whit Both razor a half of my face and head.
They did both a fine good job.
in one way or another way the Ern was dull, its my razor that i use in the camper. I have camper lent to my brother for a week. Before he was ok i ask him have you shaved whit one of the razors. He said no!....
But next time they come home whit me when i loan the camper to anyone. .
The Ern had only a touch up, but still remains strange.
The other razor a unnow Solingen got a new bevel and up to 12000 grit.
Prep , a hot shower
SWK XL Black
Soap, MB melon ice
Brush, fine badger
Razor, 1 Ern
Razor, 2 a unnow Solingen razor.
