    • Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
    • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
    • Blade: GEM Stainless
    • Lather: Barrister And Mann - Cheshire - Soap
    • Post Shave: Dr. Jons - Pans Pipe - Aftershave

    Good shave today. I kind of forgot about SE shaving and applied a little bit to much pressure. Unfortunately I got way to close in one spot on my neck. I will survive but damn these razors require some attention. This is why I am still apprehensive in regards to straight razor shaving, mostly my lack of respect for care and attention while using certain razors I know to be a bit more aggressive. The brand new blade today was a contributing factor to the mistake.

    This soap is almost gone and has been for quite sometime. I only bring it out on occasion and today seemed like as good of one as any. The Pans Pipe scent is odd and leaves me with a winter holiday vibe as it is kind of spicy and fruity.

      If you practice light pressure and get the feel of erring by riding the more towards the cap with SEs and DEs, then you should be fine with straights.

      It’s true that straights don’t forgive errors, and the learning curve is real, but it’s a really satisfying skill to learn. It’s a bit like taking off the training wheels: you’ll fall and it’ll hurt a bit, but it’s much more fun with them off 😉
