Straight up Saturday

Prep: hot shower, Lucky Tiger Face Scrub
Pre-shave: hot towel, Baume.be Pre-shave Gel
Razor: Dovo Best Quality 6/8" hollow ground
Brush: Edwin Jagger Super Badger 24mm
Soap: Mickey Lee Soapworks Drunken Goat (sample from Maggards)
Post-shave: Alum, Cold towel, Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel
Aftershave: The Blades Grimm Smolder



Just getting into SR shaving, as this is only my 5th shave with a straight. Did 2.5 passes with the Dovo, WTG/XTG hybrid, ATG/XTG hybrid with some touch ups. Ended with a CCS+ / DFS-, no weepers or nicks, but quite a bit of irritation, a by product of a poor lather, too much pressure and incorrect blade angle. The alum block and witch hazel calmed down the irritation, so I should be good to go for tomorrow's shave. Overall, not displeased with the results, nor discouraged by them as I know the cause. Tomorrow is going to be the W&B wedge and some Castle Forbes Lime cream I know I can get a great, slick lather with.

Side note: I was expecting quite a bit out of the Drunken Goat from Mickey Lee's, and I fudged up the lather. Instead of fixing the lather, or just starting over again with a new batch, I took what I was given and paid for it with a lack of slickness and cushion, part of the reason for me using too much pressure and the resulting irritation. Of course, it's not the arrow, but the indian firing it. Lesson learned!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!​

[Str8_Shaver]

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – Hone 15
Blade – Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge
Brush - 'Mama Chub' (Chubby 2 Two Band)
Soap – OSP Eucalyptus + Menthol
Post - Witch Hazel

Well, I had my shave all lined up, and then I get home from work, and the Rockwell 6S shows up (thanks Marco!)... talk about restraint!! But seeing that I haven't really got time to play today, I'm going to stick with my planned shave....So anyway, the 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge rocked in the Hone, and although I didn't really enjoy the experience today due to feeling rushed, It was still a wonderful, BBS shave...
