Razor : Alpha Shaving Stubble vs Steel Guido Brass. (Hong Kong)
Blade : Wizamet Iridium Extra Stainless (2).
Brush : TroyCraft Custom made (Brush Of Memories).
Knot : 25mm Muhle STF X large Silvertip Synthetic (Fitted By Troy).
Soap : Razorock Puros Shaving Cream Soap .
Aftershave : Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum And Sweet Orange Splash.
Weight : 102 grams.

Hi all,
I had another lovely Shave Tonight with the Alpha Shaving Stubble vs Steel Guido razor using the safety bar base plate this time.
I found the the Guido was very slightly more efficient with the open comb base plate (my opinion only) but as for smoothness
it has to go to the safety bar base plate I am in agreeance with @lu20vt on that.
As I stated previously Paste & Cut razor review guru will no doubt do a full review on this DE razor.

One pass WTG/AGT Done! no nicks no touch ups no worries.

Finished of nicely with Ogallala bay rum and sweet orange splash.
Enjoy your shave.
Cheers.

June 10 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Straight Razor Shave #610
C-Mon
MrEE Tuxedo Brush
Tabac Sk
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS
Stirling Alum Block
Lucky Witch Hazel
Beard Growth: 48 hrs



I picked out my other C-Mon Razor for this afternoon's shave. It's the larger of the two. I went with with the Tabac stick because it's a quick and easy way to face lather my beard. I only did 2 passes to give me an ultra-smooth shave without any loss of blood. I had very little alum feedback. Splashed on the witch hazel and the AV Ice Blue aftershave to finish a relaxing shave. Take care.

 

Wonderful shave Gary!

 

Proraso Green is awesome! Great setup and shave Barry!
