I thought I'd post an update on my progress. Negotiated my fourth shave this morning. My supplies from Italian Barber arrived late last Saturday. This included a nicely priced containing an Omega 49 boar brush, Proraso green soap, Razorock alum stick, and Proraso styptic gel. I also ordered a tub of Cella and RR Classic (X), and a RR Mission razor with 20 blades to get free shipping.
I used the EJ Kelvin and Cella for the next three shaves with Derby blades for shaves 2 & 3 and Rapira Super Stainless today. My first day with the Cella had me produce a pretty pasty lather, but after re-watching some videos, I've concentrated on using a pretty dry brush to load the soap and figured out how to add the water to produce a nice lather on my face. I think my technique (and lather) will continue to improve. Tomorrow I'll try out the Proraso.
