Razor By Ali, victorian brush by Jo from the same forum (le retourducoupechou), and paddle from Chewbaca from another french forum ! (coupechouclub)

Good day y'all. I didn't get a chance to post this morning because I was running a bit behind schedule and needed to get to a courthouse a few counties away. So because I didn't have a lot of time to properly strop and shave, I used a DE, the much maligned Feather stainless steel.

Prep - hot shower
Soap - CO Bigelow cream
Brush - SOC SE 2012
Razor - Feather AS, Polsilver SI blade
Post - cold water, Kiehl's lotion
EDT - Creed, Green Irish Tweed



Have a great day!

Another shave in the shower today.
Hot shower
Cade soap, badger brush
1959 Gillette Fatboy, Derby blade


Lots of lather and a great shave. For those that have never shaved in the shower, give it a try. It is the best!

Enjoy!

With a DE perhaps you could be right. However, lots of water and soap, so things can get slippery.
With a DE... drop the razor, nic in toe. With a straight... drop the razor, lose the toe.

I was only speaking of the DE, not straight.

Razor: Dovo Bergischer Lowe
Brush: EJ Best Badger, medium
Soap: Martin de Candre
A/S: AOS Lemon After-Shave Balm

picked up some new things today and had to use them ... plus had to try out a DE i picked up the other day !!

pre= nothing , just a warm lather and start shaving ..
cream= PRORASO ( blue)
brush = SIMPSON "WEE-SCOTT" (pure badger)
razor(s)
1) WOSTENHOLM & SONS "EBRO" ......WTG 1pass
2) 1955 FLARE TIP SS (wilkinson blade) WTG 1 pass , ATG 1 pass
post shave= nothing
results= the razor needs some work on the hones but shaved ok , not near its potential though !!
the DE shaved very well cleaning up what stubble the straight left with its final pass ATG....

Funny you should mention this, your posts have started me to thinking and you know, way back in the plastic crap days, shower shaves were fairly frequent but try as I might, I can't remember ever having a shower shave with a DE. I may need to give this a go sometime soon. Thanks for the idea
