Semogue 1470
Palmolive stick
Red Tip w/Med Prep
C.O. Bigelow Dr. Galen splash
Prada Luna Rossa Carbon EDT

10/10 - this brush always amazes me, and Palmolive is my most-used soap, so it was not an unexpected good result, but a very pleasant one nonetheless. Face feels great.

I should have mentioned, this was one of my best shaves I've had since starting DE. As close to BBS as I've gotten (not all the way there but pretty darn good), no irritation, no nicks.

Today was nothing short of Shaving. Nirvana. I'm new to wet shaving so I suppose I should leave room for improvement. That being said, I honestly don't see how it could get better than today's shave.

I like the Mamba 70!!!

Put a Kai SS blade in it...you'll love it even more. Thanks to @never-stop-learning for the tip.

 

[camoloc]

I've heard that normal straight razors are a lot more forgiving then shavettes. I can't wait until my ralf aust arrives early next week. I imagine that will be easier on my face haha.

I own one really cheap shavette I got locally. cut myself twice with it.......never again. I correctly speculated that traditional SR's are a vast and different world.

the aust should treat you well id imagine.
