Soap: GFT Eucris

Todays shave was not one of my best. New soap that had a OK lather but smell reminds me of a cheap Axe spray lol. and the razor was new aswell so i gave it a try with the edge it had. and it was not very good at all. back to the hone's with this one.

I really like the zebra striped brush. What is it? I'm a brush addict more so than a razor addict (like you...ahem....)

After watching your video I realized I can never get into straight shaving for two reasons.

1. There's no way I have the patience or the time to spend 8 minutes shaving.

2. I would slice my ear off in an instant when I had to switch over to my left hand.

Regardless, thanks for sharing your collection, very cool!

 

[Mr.Magnus]

straight razor shaving or any wetshaving is not about speed for me (get over with it) like i felt with regular shaving with the geillette mac3. its all about making it fun for me i didnt enjoy shaving before. now i really do..
