Straight Razor check-in: 10/25/2016
Razors: CVH No. 4, stropped 25/50 pre, 25 post
Brush: Parker Pure Badger
Soap: Tabac Original
AS: Floid Vigoroso
SOTD: John Varvatos Vintage
I chose the Heljestrand as I really wanted a good shave without mystery or incident. Don't get me wrong, the CVH is plenty capable of wreaking havoc on my face, but it's very controllable if I keep my wits about me whilst shaving with it. I didn't have a ton of time and the CVH needed to be my steady sidekick.
My standard operating procedure was employed with two passes (WTG/ATG). My results were a glorious BBS+! It was a great way to start the day and it put a smile on my face that lasted quite a while. The other nice thing about a shave like this is that you can continue to enjoy the smooth results for most of the day.
No surprises, no disappointment, just a terrific shave. You can't ask for more than that from an old razor (or the geezer holding it)
