I used my Taylor of Old Bond Street soap over some cremo cream and shaved with the Wade & Butcher wedge Lynn sharpened for me and wow it was a real first class shave, smooth comfortable, no nicks. I haven't had a better experience shaving myself before.
I can't imagine why so many guys give me a look like I am out of my mind when I try to discuss Str8 razor shaving with them. It is like I told them to shave with a blow torch.
