What did we learn from our last shaves?

The Merkur 45 and the iKon Shavecraft 101 are really nice, comfortable shavers, and pretty efficient at that. I think it's the beginning of a long lasting friendship.

Also, folding silicone bowls make for really good lather bowls.

Don't apply Proraso pre shave cream then scratch your eye.

Watch the spike point around the earlobes.

I started to use my left hand with my straight razor, and very very good.

No matter how bored you are. Never put a Merkur progress to setting 5 and feel optimistic
A third of a face later (this is what my face looked like)
Dialled it down to 3, marvellous

Used a D01 on a hard puck soap to create a great lather. It's has the backbone of a yard broom!

And the same feel on the face based on the one I had.
