Prep: Hot towell
Strop: None, razor fresh from GSSixgun. Instructions say "No Strop" before first shave.
Scuttle: SRD
Cream: Alraz's Da' Bomb "Bodega"
Brush: TGN Premium Silvertip in handle I turned in Cherry
Razor: National Cutlery "Napoleon" 6/8 to 5/8 slant grind in custom "smoke" scales by GSSixgun.
After Shave: Alraz's "Bodega" ASB
Result: I purchased this razor from GSSixgun last week. I wanted to wait to shave with it until I had a "no rush" kind of morning. The slant grind is different to get used to, but it shaves like a dream once you get the hang of it. Having a razor that has been restored by GSSixgun has been a dream of mine since I started this journey back in February. So this morning's shave meant a whole lot to me. I used Alraz's "Bodega" cream for the first time today as well. Somebody pinch me, I'm in shaving heaven today. Thanks for letting me share. Enjoy your week gentlemen, you deserve it! :beer2:
