    Shave 6 on this Latvian Razor. Butter smooth 2 pass shave, with BDBS results. It mowed the 4 days growth down, like it wasn't there. I cannot say enough good things about this razor. Zero issues. I've been using some DE razors lately, and it feels good, to get a really smooth close shave again. With a proper razor.

    Razor- RigaRazor 15/16th. Made in Latvia.
    Brush- @Jayaruh JR#262. Birdseye Maple and Ebony wood. Silvertip Badger Knot.
    Soap- ARKO. Super slick.
    Aftershave- Florida Water. For some good dreams.

    Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Palmolive Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #71
    H. Böker 5/8
    CWR
    Hendrick's Witch Hazel
    Lustray Spice After Shave

    The Palmolive Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #71 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the H. Böker 5/8 straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Hendrick's Witch Hazel and then Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    A wonderful Sunday night shave with a kenwa symmetrical kamisori, made a case out of a cigar coffin for it with tiny magnets, house of mammoth tobacconist never disappoints and is always a delight for the senses! Compress_20231112_210849_9233.jpg

    Y.s.s razor was the weapon of choice! The shave den shop soap and aftershave in tobacco leaf delighted the senses and heightened the experience! Compress_20231115_221052_2133.jpg
