Post: cold water, Proraso blue

It's the weekend, so I put the DE away and brought out the straight for two passes, face and neck. I've had better shaves, but this is my 7th shave (2nd for the neck area) with a straight so I'm OK with the results.

Still working on lathering up with the Vie-Long. I did get a nice lather from the Proraso, just not a lot of it.
