Shave Soap- Sir Henry`s Black&Tan
Razor- Weck Hair Shaper
Blade – Personna Hair Shaper
Shaving brush – Yaqi Surf
Aftershave – Areffa Soap Unscented + Sorvella Premium Tusc ( copy Tom Ford Tuscan Leather)
Today I shaved with this razor for the first time. What a thrilling experience it was!
To start, I decided to shave in one pass. I was extremely careful and took my time. This allowed me to avoid turning my face into a bloody mess
. The sharpness of the blade and the ease with which it removed stubble amazed me. Of course, the shaving technique is unusual and requires plenty of practice. Shaving my neck was especially difficult and unfamiliar; I didn't know what to do with those hands 
. During the entire shave, I got one small spot and a small area of irritation on my neck. I decided that one pass was enough for the first time and finished with the AC.
