I stopped Straight shaving to sport a beard for a while and also because I felt my straights were not shave ready. I finally watched some YouTube videos and honed a couple of my blades I thought I could practice on. After a couple tries I was able to get them shave ready. This is my SOTD after a lapse of I would say 7-8 years atleast is not more.

HIPNOTIZE SHAVE

Two Days Whiskers

MUSIC: Hipnotize by System Of A Down, 2005

PRE-SHAVE:

- Hot Water

- Proraso Pre-Shave Cream Cypress and Vetyver (IT)

BOWL: Coconut Shell (SP)

SOAP: Cella Crema da Barba Aloe Vera (IT)

BRUSH: Semogue SOC Finest Badger Ash Wood 53x24 mm (PT) -

Nice brush with reasonable backbone and light prickly feeling. It evokes the famous Finest Grade from Rooney. The resemblance stops there because the density is not comparable.

SR: Aylsworth Drakkant -

I used the OC Plate with 0.99 Blade Gap for the three classic passes and afterwards the Original SB Plate with 0.78 Blade Gap and Neutral Exposure for the pick-ups on Neck.
It's a very well machined SR by YPM from a design by Aylsworth.
Very Good Tool and beautiful to look at.

BLADE: Astra Superior Platinum (RU) (3)

POST-SHAVE:

- 444 Alum-Block (PT)

- Clarins Men After Shave Soothing Toner (FR)

- Floïd Aftershave Balm Vetyver Splash (IT)

THE SHAVE: An Easy 10/10 Shave.
