- Brush: Yaqi "Under the Sea" w/ 26mm Synthetic. #COMPOSITE
- Razor1: Cosmo Mfg. Co. – 5/8" Straight #STRAIGHT
- Razor2: Rex Supply Co. – Konsul
- Blade2: Gillette 7 O'clock SharpEdge (2).
- Lather: Henri et Victoria – Amande
- Aftershave: A&E – Ultima Unmasked Unscented Splash
First time with a straight razor ever. I have no leather strop so I've used jeans to start. I started with this and then realized I need to send this out for professional honing, it's too dull to shave with. I got a few strokes with it but that's it.
I finished with the Konsul, it was easy enough to work with. There's a bit of drag with the razor when using it, probably because of the lather. This is the first time with this soap brand, I got the samples at the meetup the other month. It was okay overall. First time with the brush also I think. Great finish, minimal irritation. Have a great Saturday.
