First ever DE shave tonight. I've been lurking and learning, purchased a little den, and tonight tossed out the disposables for good.

Shower,
GFT Sandalwood Skin Food,
Used new Colonel X2L to build first lather with Acca Kappa 1869 cream,
New Edwin Jagger DE 89 in Barley with Personna Med Prep,
Cold Water Rinse,
GFT Sandalwood Skin Food.
Eau d'Hermes (the only carry-over from my previous existence)

Never going back. A true pleasure indeed. Dave

Morning Shave 02/02/2012

Proraso Pre/post
Proraso Soap
Rudy Vey 2 Band
Johan Abrams Henckels 401 Platinum (I got it for a song!)
SRD Premium IV English Bridle 40/40 (Thrifty, because it is my only strop)
Thayers Lavender/Aloe Vera WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

This Morning I had a scruffy 3 days growth. Showered, and face lathered the Proraso.

There is something special about this 401. The shave was sheer Bliss! This razor just plowed through my beard. A light touch was all it needed. I did 3 passes wtg, wtg, xtg near BBS, no sting from the AS.

This was the best shave I have had to date since using the Straight. I would call this my Nirvana moment!

God Bless!

Jon
