Got hold of a 1911 single ring recently. The razor is a real beaty, and the silver plating shone tight up with a little help from some silver polish.
Today I thought Id take it for a spinn, so after a shower I stuffed a feather in it, and proceeded to lather up with c&e sandalwood with my omega 48. The lather was runny and bubbly well into my third pass (having trouble getting good lather with this combo) So after 4 passes wtg, xtgx2 atg my face feels just raw, the shave was not THAT close, and I feel a bit dissappointed. I guess It Is my tecnique betraying my shortcommings.
I prep my face by showering, lathering, hot towel, rinse, relather....
Is the feather just not the best with an oc?
Will try again In a day or two using my badger and some Cade cream. Maybe that will solve parts of the issue.
