My first shave with a "real" razor. No nicks....and a very pleasant experience.
Many thanks to Bill who supplied the razor shave ready.

I've not yet shaved with a straight, but today was my first shave in preparation for the straight. I shaved with a DE today but used both hands to do so. While it was a little bit awkward, it was still a pretty good shave.

Omega bristle brush (the BIG one)
Puma 6/8 spike "Fur Extra Starken Bart"

That Puma is almost as smooth and effortless as the Feather. Man, I'm glad Lynn decided not to trade me for it.
