Prep: tea tree soap
Cream: Palmolive
Bowl: Steve Woodhead #2 bowl
Brush: Whipped Dog Firestone silvertip
Razor: Sanssouci & Superspeed
ASB: Simpsons (freebie!)
My first straight shave.....love it, love it, love it and more importantly I survived despite swmbo insisting I wouldn't. Only did sides and neck WTG. Small nick but that was more about coordinating left hand in a mirror but I cant believe how close you get at first pass when it doesn't feel as sharp as a DE blade
Thanks to all for advice and guidance and especiialy Rob I think it was who said buy a basic strop. I did and as you predicted, although I didn't cut right into it, I did manage to leave a scratch and you're right, if that had been on a £150 strop it would have been tears over Xmas!
Awsome
