WTG, ATG, touch ups with adjusted angles for my beard.
On my return journey to DE/Wet shaving I have procured some nice razors and enjoy using them all.
My favorite razor is the RAW RS-10. I could tell from the first use it was special. Effortlessly glides across the skin.
I had to check on more than one occasion if a blade was loaded. The RAW just shaves so well for me.

DFS! I went way back a bit to some basics and I wasn’t disappointed. From my first wet shave razor (Weishi TTO) to my simple Witch Hazel and essential oils mix aftershave, all went well.
