A Traditional British Straight Razor Shave Experience
Mappin & Webb 5/8 "Nulli Secundus" in Genuine Ivory "Saturday"
Kent BK4
Trumpers Rose Shaving Soap
Floris JF Aftershave
This was simply the closest, smoothest, straight razor shave I have ever pulled off. The Mappin & Webb blade attached to antique genuine Ivory is perfectly balanced. A 3 pass shave without even the hint of a nick. The Kent BK4 is a delightful little brush that continues to amaze me with its ultra soft nature and ability to conjure up perfect lather. The Trumpers Rose has the most natural rose scent and it has climbed up to a dead heat with TABAC as my favorite shaving soap. A dimed sized splash of Floris JF Aftershave finished this sink time revealing no detectable stubble or irritation.
