Shave of the day - First Straight Razor Shave in two years

Dovo 6/8 Best Quality
EverReady brush w/ Golden Nib 22 mm badger
Trumper's Coconut SC
Thayer's
Aqua Velva Blue
Nivea ASB
L'occitane Vetyver cologne

My razor arrived from Lynn yesterday and I jumped back in today. For the first shave in two years with a straight, I'm pretty happy - I missed a bit on my lip, and a I have a bit fo razor burn in the hollow under my jaw (non- dominant hand) but otehr than that - I'd give it 7/10, and I mut say I really enjoyed my shave today.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Neep, coffee bean brush
Razor: C V Heljestrand, frameback
Cream: Muhle
AS: Old Spice, Fresh Lime
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Ok, that was Mr Nick Senior telling me to not be in hurry, he told me with an almost 2 inches long and very thin nick. Nothing serious though, but a healthy reminder... Nice cream though, easy to use and very nice "cover", even though this frameback was used to harshly.


... and of course, with this brush, this mornings coffee:

Razor: 7/8" Joe Chandler, 1/4 Hollow Ground, Barber's Notch (w/ Mexican Kingwood scales. Stunning looking razor Robert, can't recall seeing that one before, maybe a new one added to the collection?
