Brush: Vintage Ever-Ready 675 badger
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue

Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Post Shave Gel, Old Spice original Shulton

20 laps on the strop after my last shave, keeping it sharp. Face lathered the Jack Black with the Badger, after hydrating my face real well, going for extra slickness. Getting better and a little closer with the round point. Working on getting under my upper lip, and I'm getting better. Left side of my neck is a breeze with my left hand but my right side is a challenge. I finished with my Tech and only needed 1/2 pass. Still working all the angles, but getting better. Nice cucumber smell with the WH, and then some soothing JB Gel. After cleanup some vintage OS. Y'all have a good one.

The Curse is Broken!

I would never recommend this razor to someone new to straight shaving - it is clearly an unforgiving blade.

An enjoyable shave, but the size is just a little small for my hands, for me, much easier to make mistakes with these smaller razors.
