Delightful Shave!
SOTD 7-27-15
Comments: Today was another straight razor only shave! I did two passes (WTG, XTG/ATG), then a cleanup type pass, which worked fine! No irritation today but I did get a small nick on the neck during the ATG pass. I will call it a nice DFS shave but I do feel a spot or two in the neck and jaw line areas that could have been closer and I probably should have hit them again before I pack it up but there is always tomorrow! . No issues with the C&E Nomad soap as it works well for me. All in all, a very good shave today but could have been better (no nick)!
Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!
Thx.

Picked up this Gillette New Open Comb this week. WOW, What a shaver this thing is. I paired it with a Voshkod blade and a new sample from Through The Fire Fine Crafts. Great suds guys. Man did they know how to build a razor back then.
