Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Cadet Sante Fe TTO-11
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Edwin Jagger Best
Cream/Soap: RazoRock XXX soft soap
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel/RazoRock Aftershave Wax
An excellent, BBS shave this morning. Although this was only my second shave with this razor, I’m impressed with it–great “bang for the buck” and good quality construction are two of its virtues. This is a hefty and a tad aggressive razor, causing me to appreciate the knurling–no tendency to slip out of my hand. It will be interesting to see if some of my other favorite blades work as well as the Astra in the Cadet.
