    Gents,

    Post your daily shaving gear here! Pardon my lack of participation...I'm evaluating DE blades and can't glue them to my SRP razor! So, who will be first?

    Hot shower

    Hot water with Proraso
    Proraso soap

    4/8 "Hennes" from Solingen, pretty old, but you get a very, very close shave
    First down the grain, then against ...

    Cold water and ... perfectly smooth!

    Afterwards, of course Proraso, an a handful of Old Spice

    ... I think I am a Proraso Junkie

    Default A 3 Razor Day

    I honed up 3 razors last night, so I had to test shave with them this morning.

    Hot shower
    L'Occitane cypress soap
    Hot towel
    re-lather
    6/8 Case Red Imp
    5/8 Waterville
    6/8 Game Cock travel razor
    C&E Edwin Jagger
    Proraso A/S Balm
    Jack Black "Blue Mark" cologne
    Off to work

    All 3 razors shaved incredibly close and smooth. I almost didn't have to go back against the grain, even with almost 3 days growth. No irritation or pulling at all.
