Hey guys, long time lurker here, thought I'd finally start posting.
Got my first straight for Christmas and I've loved every second of it. Had a few nicks here and there the first week or two but I'm reasonably comfortable with it now and loving the baby smooth shave I had this morning :D
I fear I might come down with RAD soon enough though...I've been looking around and I'm already itching to get a second razor :P
Razor: Dovo prima
Brush: Muhle Silvertip Fibre
Lather: Geo F Trumper Eucris
Post Shave: Proraso Aftershave Balm
Result: Very happy shave

Today: Blustery ~ -13ºC. The Shave: Wow! Everything went as it should and the razor has a very good reason for its name! The vintage strop is due to the kind courtesy of a friend!!
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

A shave with the flavour of a good coffe, done with a wedge made by Bengall "Cast steel" sometime around 1820 1830, a pleasure to hone and to use ! Terrific british steel !
