January 6 - First Attempt @ SOTD

PREP: Hot Shower & American Black Soap Facial Wash and Scrub
PRE-SHAVE: Art of Shaving Lemon Pre-Shave Oil
BRUSH: Art of Shaving Pure Black Badger
SOAP/CREAM: Mitchel's Wool Fat Soap
RAZOR: DOVO Best Quality 5/8 Black
STROP: SRD 3" Black Latigo
SHAVE: 2 passes, WTG/ATG
AS: Proraso White
RESULT: Good shave (This was my first attempt at a FULL Shave)

I also received my awesome bowl. Hand carved Turkish Copper. The bowl is decorated with hand carved floral figures and Ottoman motifs.

Enjoy and have a good week!

I just got the kamisori honed so it went for a test drive. They do get very sharp quite quickly. The technique for the shave is definitely different too. The results were a little spotty due to the lacking technique, but what was done well is on the order of the best shaves to date. The minimal burn from the aftershave indicated that I did not get very rough with myself.

The soap was Klar Kabinett followed by cold water, Dominica Bay Rum and Nivea balm.

Pre: Hot towel, AOS Lavender pre shave oil
Brush: Semogue LE 2011 Finest Bristle #2
Cream: Proraso Blue
Razor: Edwin Jagger head, Weber Bulldog Handle
