Shaved September 28


PRE: Floid oil

KNIFE: Reviewer Prima Solingen 6-8 previously recognized in leather

BRUSH: The Druid two bands in Heather

SOAP: Proraso tough beards sandalwood and shea butter

FOAM: In bowl and comfort foam

POST: Brut lotion and essence Yachtman

This afternoon shaving razor has been very pleasant for two passes without incident and although I have not got the perfect shave each other has been very decent.

I've started using my left hand because I am right handed and I've started on that side very slowly and decisively where I'm defending.
