First with a str8
Shower
Bar Soap: Nancy Boy Signature Bar Soap
Shampoo: Burt's Bees Dr. Burt's Herbal Treatment Shampoo
Facial Wash: Burt's Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub
Body Lotion: Burt's Bees Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Lotion
Deodorant: Burt's Bees Herbal Deodorant
Shaving
Razor: Shumate Razor Co Shumate's Barber 5/8 Straight Razor w/Black Plastic Scales
Razor: Merkur 198 Hefty Classic Slant Bar Safety Razor
Shaving Blades: Feather High Stainless Platinum Double Edged Razor Blades
Shaving Brush: Omega Boar Bristle and Chrome Handle Shave Brush
Shaving Bowl: Petco 4" Stainless Steel Pet Water Bowl
Shaving Cream: Arko Commando Shave Cream
Shaving Soap: Honey Bee Spa Bay Rum Shave Soap
Technique: WTG - str8 45XTG/45XTG Cleanup - slant
Post Shave
After Shave: Thayer's Witch Hazel After Shave
Shaving Balm: L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm
Shaving Balm: Lee Pharmacutical Co Aloe99 99.9% Cold Pressed Aloe Vera Gel
Result: 3.2/5.0 Well, this was the first time I really shaved with a str8. I had only scraped my cheek a little with a not so sharp Dovo 4/8 before. Someone felt sorry for me and was very generous and gave me a Shumate Razor Co Shumate's Barber 5/8 Straight Razor w/Black Plastic Scales for my razor pleasure. I thank them very much. I made one stupid mistake with the point under my nose which called for the styptic. My neck on the right got roughed up. I should have stretched the skin more. In all, I called it a success. (No one had to dial 911) I finished the passes with a Merkur Slant w/Feather. Between the str8 and the slant I got a very smooth but roughed up, need to heal, shave. I gave myself a weeper at the bottom of my neck with the slant. I will say though, the slant with a feather is one heck of a smooth cutter and I will be using the str8 more. I need to do some homework. OK, time to put a little more Aloe 99 on.
