Hart Steel shave number 2! Fine Santal Parker best badger Hart Steel 5/8 round tip (I have to hone my picture skills and post a decent one here) Cold water, alum, cold water Fine Santal. Today was a very pleasant shave #2 with my first straight razor. It was a very nice experience, but as expected the result is not quite as smooth I am able to achieve using my DEs (but still better than the Mach III I retired years ago). It's only my second time with it and expect I will have better results in the coming months. Overall, i am very satisfied and happy I finally mustered the courage to start with a straight. Happy Wednesday to all.

Wed. 12/20/17 A fine three pass shave this morning. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️
I broke out a "newish" straight of mine. I still like the older ones more. This one is loud, but sharp. I had a 2 pass shave, that left me near BBS. I was bit by this razor 3 times. Very small, and only one I felt, on the upper lip. Maybe that's why I'm not thrilled with this one. Razor- Dovo. Best Quality, Solingen Germany. Brush- B400 by Tom Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy Aftershave- Vintage Shulton Old Spice. The Admiral.
