The total homebrew shave experience
Today I had a pretty nice shave using all home made supplies. I still consider myself a beginner, but I have the best results with cold water and at least 3 days growth. Anyway, it was a very satisfying shave!
Razor: Home made O-1 fixed blade, stropped on home made canvas and leather hanging strops
Preshave: cold water splash, soap with homemade transparent rosin soap
Home made shave soap, face lathered with home made brush
Splash on homebrew hard cider aftershave
Moisturize with home made lotion
There are more details on the above items (other than the lotion, which I just made on Saturday, so have not blogged on it yet):
Tooling Up: shaving
