So I'm finally going to do one of these with a decent picture.
It takes 2.0 to Tango
Pre: hot flannel, Pears Transparent soap, 2 drops of Bio Oil
Brush: Haryali badger cheap'n'cheerful
Soap: Extro Cosmesi Arancia Italiana
Razor: Koraat 14/2.0 custom Sunburst
Post: Bio Oil
AS: Zara Man Vibrant Leather Oud.
First run with my new pride and joy razor. I feel very privileged. After a lovely hot towel to the face and a good wash with the Pears, I put the smallest amount of Bio oil on, then whipped up a lovely cushion of Arancia Italiana with my little wooden badger very wet a la "Marco method". The citrus aroma lasts all the way through 3 passes and is pleasant without ever being too in yer face.
With some trepidation of the large bellied square point Koraat, I touched down and it slid smoothly across my skin razing everything in its path with ease. WTG/XTG/ATG, and not a nick, just a DFS. A generous few drops of Bio oil to calm and protect the skin after a very close shave, and a light spray of Oud to complete the experience. Lovely lazy Saturday.
