Unconventional Shave
Location: 40°46'51.25"N 73°58'27.73"W
Music: Jean Sibelius Piano Works
Razor: R. Saito SK 1
Brush: Rudy Vey Horn Custom
Soap: Penhaligon's English Fern
Astringent: Dickenson Witch Hazel
AS: L'Occitane Cade Balm
Result: Not perfect but a lot of fun! It's like shaving with a velociraptor claw! The extreme smile and small size of this razor allowed me to take the tight corners of my jawline and adam's apple like a 5 year old takes a cookie: effortlessly and with great zeal. It fit so well into my corners I sliced myself good on the buttcrack of my chin, never done that before. It'll take some adjusting but I see this being a permanent addition to the rotation.

Hi bassguy. Very intriguing- and nice-looking razor you got there. Am not sure the expression "straight razor" could apply to this one..
