Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Wash
Proraso Sandalwood
Jayaruh #353
Weck Sextoblade Med
Personna
CWR
Dove Men+Care Post Shave Balm

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Cream face lathered well with the Jayaruh #353 Badger/Boar brush. I did two passes with the Un Named Shavette razor with a Stainless 77 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Dove Men+Care Post Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I got this razor from Flori, a fellow shaver in Albania. Read about it here:
