  • Brush: Ever-Ready - 400 w/Motherload 30mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gold Dollar Straight Razor (12)
  • Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Down at the River - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Frankie & Myrna - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream

Welp, yesterday and today (using the same razor) weren't the greatest. I blame the razor, the lather, and my technique :-)

Since I'm still in the FAFO stage of straight razor shaving, I'm not going to rub the razor on a stone until I've messed around a bit more with different soap bases, etc. I'm sure I'll have some more unsavory shaves before I give up, but that's how we learn.
