    Dove Men Face Wash
    Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #128
    Cattaragus Straight from @Drygulch
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    T.N. Dickinson's WH
    Aqua Velva Musk AS

    The Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #128 synthetic brush. I did one pass with the Cattaragus Straight Razor. I followed @swarden43 's advice: " pay attention, go slow, pay attention, watch what you're doin', pay attention, keep an eye on the angle, pay attention, careful of the pressure, pay attention..." I only drew blood once, and it wasn't all that much. I did the second pass with the English Rocket I got from @Red Rider . I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Another super close with the Japanese Okina. This one always gives a fabulous shave, and looks good doing it:).

    Welcome to the dark side! That is a great start, it does not look like that will even leave a scar..... but chicks dig scars.

    Enjoy the journey.

    Tabac soap
    Large Omega Badger
    Steel Arches razor
    Payoy ASB

    Another nice shave with this razor, quite liking the Sheffield steel German ground combo. ( I should really use a smaller brush when using Tabac as there aint much left in that bowl, will have to buy more)

    I had a great shave this morning with my Kiebitz. Two passes with little touch up was all it took for an almost BBS shave.
