    The big Napoleon made quick work of the stubble leaving me smooth, smooth, smooth. :happy036:

    Finally used up the last of my small horde of T&H samples. I like the creams and the 1805 and Grafton were my favorite scents. The Ultimate Comfort may have offered just a little more protection, hard to say :signs002:

    Hot water preparation

    Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Sensitive Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #188 Synthetic
    SXDGS 6/8
    Gillette Trac //
    CWR
    Lustray Spice After Shave
    The Proraso Sensitive Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #188 Synthetic Brush. I did the first pass with the SXDGS 6/8 straight and was not satisfied with the results, so I switched to my Gillette Trac// razor which gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
