morning gentlemen!

gillette executive - the golden fatboy
gillette swede (3)
frank shaving pur tech
ingrams (plus a drop of lavender essential oil)
mark's and spencer Amber aftershave and balm

mostly very smooth - couple of nicks ATG on my neck - one side of the razor feels smoother than the other - im not sure if the blade gap is wider on one side so im a bit wary of rotating the razor. Lovely scent from the amber a/s and balm

[BraveBlades]

Prep:
Hot shower,
Proraso Pre-shave cream
Proraso Shave cream mixed with a brush loaded with Bear Ice (Mamma Bears soap)

Weapon of choice:
Vintage Kropp straight razor

Post shave:
TOBS luxury aftershave balm
Proraso (Menth and Eucyl) A/S

Outcome:
possibly one of the best shaves to date, My straight razor technique (shaving and razor care/honing/stropping) is all improving greatly, the shaves i am getting are well beyond my wildest expectations.
Straight Razors are the way forward for me.
A BBS shave and skin is feeling wonderful. :icon_razz:

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed watching that. That must be some edge!

Now I really want to watch pirates of the Caribbean though! What's that piece of music called, if you know?

Thanks again

I had my first shave with my new Revisor 6-0033 full hollow ground razor. I treated the skin with Proraso pre-shave cream and then lathered up my Proraso menthol and Aloe Vera cream. I used a Muhle synthetic brush which is great at holding water.

After lathering up I had a wonderful WTG, XTG & ATG shave. I'm relatively new to straight shaving and I was delighted with the feedback from the full hollow ground Revisor. It was a very sharp, smooth razor to shave with. I got BBS on my cheeks and DFS on my chin and upper lip. I'm looking forward to many fine shaves with my new razor.

[geezer]

Hot face splash...
Weber Polished Bulldog
Swedish Supersteel (2)
Arko soap stick (F.L.)
24mm TGN Finest Badger
Alum

Arko outperforms many of my soaps at a great price. Its scent is a little 'toilet air freshner lemony' I would say but wears off after use a few times. Haven't touched the MWF since I acquired this though part of the reason is to see if the MWF is affecting my skin. Arko lathers far easier too.
