Pre hot towel + Proraso Aloe blue cream + Vulfix 2234 + Weber Bulldog with Merkur head and Super Flash #3 + Sergio Tacchini splash and Proraso Aloe blue balm

A good and close shave! BTW I liked more the balm than the shaving cream of this line.

Cheers!

This is my meanest razor (the Kamisori), point is like a chisel point (but I'll be damned if I mute it) and it's scary sharp, I don't think I've shaved once with it without getting nicked. This time I was in hurry as well :-/, needless to say I was nicked a couple of times, nothing serious though, but I knew I was in hurry but didn't change razor - why??

Mikael, do you use this in the traditional Japanese way - just one side of the razor and, if so, just one hand.

I ask because I've seen videos of this method and it seems to require quite a lot of awkward positions.

In short - no. I've tried, but I don't feel motivated enough to learn it the traditional Japanese way ... which, by the way, is debated if it actually is the correct way to do it, if you shave yourself... but I'll leave that to the ones more qualified to debate. :D
