A great shave and it seems my skin is becoming more tolerant of daily straight shaving which is a big step forward.



The razor took a great edge quickly after being quite dull. It isn't dragging on my forarm hairs that much, but it does ping a few here and there which seems to be a promising start.

Just got this razor from Tony. My first TI shave and it was great!

Jordan

3 days' stubble
Plisson HMW 12 horn
Lucky Tiger Shave lotion (prep)
Honeybee Chamomile Shea ss
DD Shell
testing 2 TIs
Trumper's alum

What can I say, one TI pulled more than the other

Nevertheless, a quick 2-pass shave, no cuts, tiiiny spot of pink (on the dull TI side)

I adore your Adoration, Don. I got one myself on e-bay and one day will get around to honing it up.

My shave: Nothing special, so to speak, just TOBS rose cream with my Vulfix 377 super, then off it comes with my Feather AC. But man, the bathroom smelled like roses all morning!!

Oh, and the aftershave was Aqua Velva ... I've just started getting into that stuff, and each time I use it I like it better than the time before. Gonna buy a BIG bottle next time!!
