It Feels Sharper as You get more Skilled with You're Technique..Star Noir,
Crown king synthetic,
Gold dollar 208,
Alum,
EJ DE89 on pickups with a Rapira blade,
Next ice white EDT,
Well the first mistake was transferring the star noir to a bowl, using my finger, making a huge amount of foam, the crown king is a lovely soft brush, I don't like the lather too thick when using a cut throat, because I am slow to use it, and the soap dries out to quick, not the fault of the soap, more a fault of my tardiness, anyhow I managed a half decent shave, only managing to cut myself doing the pick ups with the DE89, I know how the hell do you manage to escape the cut throat, then cut yourself on such a mild razor you ask, over confidence is the answer, I have much to learn still, especially the handling of the razor around the chin area, and using it left handed, the gold dollar seems to get sharper everytime I use it, and actually seems more forgiving than the feather artist with the pro guard blade, though that may be me getting more used to it.
That razor looks brilliant what is it?
