WWR and conditioner
hot towel
wwr
lather
strop 20 40 linen leather
hot towel
lather
shave 2 passes with some touchup

an ok shave. I lopped off an ingrown hair. It was a bloody mess.

Today was the day…I finally decided to make a full shave with my str8 razor.
Before I used a shavette and did just a small part of my cheek, but after 3 attempts and 4 cuts I had almost abandoned .

Yesterday I honed and strop my Wolrd Master Special and this morning I went for it.

It went great, no pulling, no rash, just the pleasant sound of cutting hair. What a nice sensation. I was watching the point of the blade all along. Did WTG, CTG and an almost complete AGT (a bit of trouble angles on my neck). Will figure it out on my nest shaving.

Much easier and much safer than with the shavette. Must be the fact of the longer blade.

Proraso shaving soap with eucalyptus and menthol
Delong Badger Silvertip brush
#177 World Master Special 6/8 razor

Have a nice day…mine is great.
