Thread: First SR shave

Well, what to say?

This was my first straight razor shave. In lack of words I'll start with equipment I used:
- prep: Proraso Crema Pre a Dopo Barba con olio di Eucalipto e Mentolo
- brush: custom brush (King's Black Badger)
- soap: Classic Male Grooming SS
- blade: W&B Medium Size Hollow Ground (restored by King)
- close: Proraso Dopobarba AS con Mentolo e Allantoina, Proraso Crema Pre a Dopo Barba con olio di Eucalipto e Mentolo



I'm still little under impression of shaving process. Everything was so smooth. I got one little scratch, but I was so cool and petrified that no blood came out.
Pure relaxation and steady mind flow.
Now, I'll to to my veranda to smoke my pipe and read till sundown.

'Lovely kit there, Mariv. Such a shave puts my mind right also. 'Hope decades of fine shaves follow this one.

Congrats!!! Looks like you have achieved a fine start to your straight razor journey!

Congratulations on your successful straight razor shave. Your equipment looks great and should give you many great shaves.

It is always nice to read about a positive first shave.

Happy Shaving!
