    Nailed the lather this morning and a fine shave was had. As I stated before, have had a heck of a time getting a good lather. Nailed it this morning and a great lather helped have a fabulous shave. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Razor: Gillette Super Speed w/ Wings 1947 (Birth Razor)
    Blade: Wilkinson Sword (4)
    Brush: APShaveCo. Synthetic FAN w/ Elegant Emerald Handle - Extra Dense Shaving Brush - Cream/Brown - Imitation Badger.
    Soap: Reef Point Soap Dragons Blood
    Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Capri
    Bowl: Symmetrical Pottery Starry Night Dottie Bowl

    I apologize for not posting every day, but that's the way it is.
    An amazing razor that performs perfectly. I love the Wings, holds the blade securely. The brush is fantastic! It whipped up the Dragons Blood soap in the Symmetrical bowl to a great lather.

    My first go with any type of straight and everything went great, I even did the neck and 'tache area.
    Then disaster struck, I swapped hands, a cut on the jawbone and one just below the nose. That one might leave a scar.
    I knew my left hand was hard of hearing but I've now found it is totally deaf.
    I had the Hussy on stand by so at least I'm clean shaven
    Smooth Shaves to one and all.

    I started to say congratulations and then I finished your post. I still say congrats! Sorry about the blood. About a month before I attempted my first SR shave, I practiced using my left hand on the left side of my face with my DE's. It was awkward, but I think it helped get me ready for two-handed SR shaving.

    Because that's the side that I use my non-dominant hand. I still use my right hand on the right side of my face.
