No blood, no burn, but pretty much no shave after 25 minutes off trying.

Have you tried and only shave the most easy areas (use the DE for the rest) and work/expreriment with the angels/stretching technique...

Yeah, I'm trying to see what I can get to work on my cheeks, and then apply that to elsewhere.

Good luck for the big day Jase. I was nervous about the shave on my wedding day about six months back, didn't want to look a state on all the photos. Needn't have been though, it all went okay. Hope you enjoy the day, it will be over with in a flash.
 
Tuesday 28th December (Christmas Day)

Mitchell's Wool Fat - Semogue LE 2010 - Gillette British Aristocrat #16 - Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow (1) - Thayers Original Witch Hazel w/Aloe Vera Astringent

Not shaved for a few days since we've been staying at my inlaws. Nice to be back home now. Just going to try a warm water rinse and the Thayers for a few days to see how it goes. It's a few hours after the shave now and my face has been left feeling a bit greasy.
 
Today a bit different, first time "roughing it" while straight shaving.
I'm stayin at my dads, who has a less than optimal bathroom for shaving. (cold, and clammy)
I decided to take Avene cream, and face lather, instead of fafing with a bowl. (and took my travel brush)

So:
Strop: Dovo (present from my Bro & SiL)
Razor: Gottlieb Hammesfahr "Pyramide"
Prep: Couple of hours of chopping down trees in the forest / Hot shower / KoS Shave Oil.
Cream: Avene
Brush: Simpson Beaufort B1
Alum: Razor Rock
ASB: T&H 1805

Well, despite the circumstances, I got a lovely shave! Think I'm really getting the hang of these straights ;)

As an evening shaver I had a tendency to get a sore face when my stubble began breaking through the next day 18 -24hrs later. Weird huh?

Cutting out alum seemed to do help combat this for me.

Tuesday

Back to work for a couple of days tomorrow, Sitting on the sofa just about falling asleep and realised I had to have a shave, not being arsed I used

Gillette Mach 3 (god knows how long the blade has been in it)
No Name badger brush
Macca root cream
Thayers Superhazel
Macca root ASB

Not as close as I get with a DE and with a little more redness than usual however I managed a 2 pass shave in about a minute flat. Given the tiredness I'd say job well done.
