Finally getting around to Italy: my shave log. The story so far is that after hating shaving for like....30 years...I started wet shaving with DE razors. Participating in this forum then got me interested in fountain pens (among other things), so trying a SR was likely inevitable. I purchased my first straight - a Wester Bros. - and a poor man's strop kit from Whipped Dog.
As as of today, I've been testing the waters and learning my straight for a couple of months. I don't use my straight every day, but I do shave every day with either my SR or a DE. My plan is to slowly taper my DE use with time.
Ive already covered my SR kit, so here is the DE and soap/extras:
DE Razors: S&S fat stubby and a Gillette gold ball end.
Soaps: Chiseled Face Summer Storm
Chiseled Face Midnight Stag
Blades Grim Smolder
Proraso Green and Red
Brushes: AOS Best Badger
Blades Grim Synthetic (LOVE this brush)
