02 March 2013

If I said I was madly in love with you you'd know I was lying. - Scarlett O'Hara

Razors: CJB + Feather Pro & GEM OCMM
Brush: E7 Scarlett + WSP HMW 23/50
Soap: Martin de Candre - Savon À Raser ( 38 )
AS: Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum -- Hip Flask

This morning's shave results were a bit better than expected and still quite humbling at the same time. I did confirm that I'm no straight shaving prodigy and that my decision to not become a surgeon was a good one.

My first pass (WTG) seemed a bit easier than I thought it would be. Initial stumbling block was trying to see around my own arms when around my sideburns/cheek. Jawline and chin were definitely not as close as I normally get on a single pass, but that is definitely an angle issue.

Second pass (XTG) wouldn't have been a consideration if my first pass hadn't gone so well. It didn't take long, however, for me to learn that my hand is not steady enough and comfortable enough wielding an open blade. In an instant, one in which I didn't even think I had the blade touching my skin yet, I had about a 1/4 inch cut on my cheek. I then put the CJB down and finished the rest of the shave with the OCMM. While the OCMM is no beast for me I will say that after maneuvering the open blade around, the OCMM felt like I was shaving with an injector.

I will most likely save my straight expedition for the weekend but I do look forward to continuing to learn this skill. I also will take this razor with me to my next haircut and ask my barber to use this on my neck line instead of his normal injector-blade shavette.
