Cream - Castle Forbes
Brush - Simpson
Razors - Joseph Rodgers 5/8 & Feather AC DX
Blade - Feather Professional
Balm - TOBS Jermyn Street

Thought I'd try the Feather AC alongside the straight razor today, & what a difference, the Feather was so easy which I think is down to the extra weight - two passes for a super smooth result. I don't think its the edge, but I've just received a 6/8 which weighs a couple of grams more than the AC, so I'll find out tomorrow morning..

gold dollar 208: my first week with a straight razor, and i managed to get a really good shave with it (daily shaves). Just as smooth as with my DE razor
Congratulations and welcome to the gentlemanly art of SR shaving.

Just as smooth as with your DE razor? Sorry to here that but don't worry, it will get smoother, closer and more comfortable as you develop your SR shaving technique.

BTW, thank you for including a thumbnail of you pic and not the full view. That makes it much quicker for the page to load.
