Let me tell you, it was one of the most enjoyable shaves that I've had thus far. I now know what a a sharp razor should feel and look like.
Since I have a tough beard, I shower, hot towel my face, pre-shave oil, then lather.
My technique still needs improving but hey that comes in time. I'm utterly flabbergasted at the shave. Almost bbs.
Here's the equipment list:
Keen Kutter 5/8's
Art of shaving pre shave oil
Col Conk's bay rum later
Carbtree & Evelyn badger hair brush.
Illinois 361 strop
Don't worry I'm going to hit up CarrieM's & Mama Bears shave soaps shortly. Been reading a lot about both of them. :) I'm also looking at getting a (SRD) 3" latigo strop. So many toys... So many toys .. I got bit rather hard.
Anything else I'm missing?
