Oh yeah, this is totally a teaser post. I have only just ordered my Straight Razors today. I expect it will be a full week before I recieve my new dangerous manly playthings.
What I Ordered:
A TI Special C. 6/8 Full Hollow in a Round Point. The site said Ebony, but I have every expectation I will recieve black laq scales.
A Boker Edelweiess 5/8 Full Hollow "King Cutter", yes, dem bone scales.
3" English Bridal Strop in Burgundy, nothing special I'll probably wreck it anyways.
My current Kit:
Muehle Sophist DE Kit, Light Buffalo Horn, Silver tip brush and, a closed comb(I want an open comb head, I will have to keep an eye on BST).
Software:
-Pre:
EJ Pre-Shave Lotion(dat menthol)
eShave Orange and Sandalwood Oil
-Cream:
Body Shop Maca Root
EJ Sandalwood
Harry's (yes the online cart brand)
-Soap: TOBS Sandalwood(in a pretty bowl)
-A/S:
TOBS Sandalwood Gel
EJ Sandalwood Cream
BioTherme Homme Anti-Razor Burn Balm(best moisturizing brand ever)
-Osma Alum(insert obscenities here!)
-Pinaud C, Nick Dabber(i dont know what its really called, but it does seem to work well for a liquid)
-Current Blade of choice is Feather. I haven't experimented much, but these work good, and are easy to acquire for me(thanks amazon prime!)
To Date Data:
So this part will be the only part I will mention my DE progress, after this it will be solely for Straight Progress.
June 13th: the day I got the DE Kit in the mail. I have been, and will be shaving daily from here on out.
June 19th: My first BBS, although I got a LOT of irritation since I just went for the gusto, and didnt care how much it hurt to finish(~6-7/10)
July 2nd: Alum Block, and EJ Swag arrived in the mail, queue BBS #2. Oh my, #$%^....@#$@#$(Yes, Truncated). That Alum block hurt a lot!
July 6th: BBS-, 2.5 Irritation. EJ Pre-shave is proving to be incredibly delightful for glide, although it tends to ruin my sense of smell for the next 20 minutes.
July 8th: BBS, 3/10. This EJ swag is getting 3107'd.
July 9th: BBS, 4/10. Patience, Patience, Patience!
July 10th: Yea hungover, SAS Please! Sadly in my state this still threw me a 4/10.
July 11th: DFS+, lazy friday.
Skip shaving to
Today: DFS, 1/10. Got the chin BBS(which is the most notable hair for me), left the rest because I was in a hurry.
Enter, the waiting game...
