    To get in the mood: Glen Miller at the Cafe Rouge (RadioLovers.com - Big Bands) and a large glass of Frydenlund Fatøl -Norwegian Beer (By the way, I only shave in the evenings not in the morning. )

    Prep: Lucky Tiger Face Scrub + Proraso PRE shave cream

    Brush: Bonds of Oxford Street - Super Badger Travel Brush

    Soap: Colonel Conk Lime

    Strop: Jemico

    Razor: Yahatamaru - Vintage Japanese straight
    AS: Proraso AS + Lucky Tiger Mustache Wax

    Result: BEST shave I have ever had. My first time with a Japanese Straight and I have never had a closer shave EVER. (In my less than impressive 3-4 months of Straight razor shaving I should add.. he,he.. ) I just got this today.. Bought it from OLD_SCHOOL and as I shave my head I couldn't do a HHT so I took a hair froom my Zebra hide rug, and it did cut it after a couple of tries so I concluded it was more than sharp enough. I did not strop it prior to shaving, just cleaned it a bit in HOT water and wiped it off with a towel. I can not believe how easy it was to shave with this compared to my western straights. I tried to use only one side at first, but deciced to try the other side as well as I couldn't get to the difficult spots only using the "correct" side. This not only let me easily shave those hard to get spots but I also FINALLY managed to easily shave those very difficult areas around my jaw that I have never managed to get completely smooth with any other razor. I use only my left hand though.. I guess I should mention that. I would also like to add, I used less time on my 1st ever shave with a Japanese Straight than I ever have with a western razor. I did WTG and ATG. No need to go XTG as My face was already extremely smooth after the WTG..

    Thumbs up THANKS TO ALL

    Gents,

    you make us proud. This week has been one of the best SOTD's I have seen. Great photography and shaving products. I would like to thank everyone for their input and participation at the SOTD.

    I said it before everyone is welcome to post his daily shave with or without photography. It doesn't matter. As long as you are having fun!
