Well done and keep it up...successful shaves with a straight can be very very addictive...soon you will be looking for another straight razor......and a better strop...etc, etc...

Lol. Most curtainly. I can feel it bubbling up in my belly.

I do need another, better strop and well, to be honest, my eyes are lustful for other men's straights. So many just look so good!

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I appreciate it. I feel comfortable doing it. I just need to work on my technique and get the right angles so that I can complete a full shave with one. That's my goal.

Cheers my friend.

17 December, 2022

Prep: Hot towel
Razor: Rockwell 6S – #3
Blade: Permasharp
Brush: Shavemac 24/48 D01 2 Band
Soap: Occult Grooming Essentials: Hell Courtesan ( Prometheus )
Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..
Fragrance: L'Elégant by MDCI

at long last, I have a soap by Occult Grooming Essentials, so difficult to get hold of, but finally managed to find one.. mind you, it cost me a small fortune with the added taxes, etc.. so, was it worth the endless search history, and the countless dead ends? HELL YEAH! It's one of those soaps that produces a gob full of thick cushiony lather that begs for more water. In fact, there was enough lather to shave me, my cat, the neighbour and their cat.. Yeah, this was so much fun, I was making extra passes just so it wouldn't end. I just wish it was more readily available. So what do you say, Bill/Lazaros? When can we expect more of this wonderful soap... ooh, in tobacco, please.

After seven shaves with the Tuckaway I went back to my RFB. Like buttah! The RFB takes its place at Number One on the OC razor podium again, relegating the excellent Tuckaway to second place.


Happy shaves guys.
