I've been working myself up to using my granddad's old razor for nearly a year. I joined B&B this past April knowing this day would come so I prepared.
Got the deal on the Bigelow/Proraso cream at Bath and Body Works last weekend and my sampler pack of blades from Westcoast shaving just got in ,too.
I had to put my dog to sleep on Monday so I was kinda bummed all day. Tuesday was the decision day. I dialed the Gillette P2 to 5 and dropped in the Feather's blade. Got the tube key from Sally's and squeezed up my first bit of the cream. Lathered up my face and first WTG, second XTG, and third ATG. Followed up with Bloc Alum and Nivea Sensitive AS BAlm. Later mixed Tabac EDT and Lilac Vegetal (denatured). Dusted it all off with TOBS talc.
Still miss my dog, but I got one helluva shave. Next time I'll probably try it at 3 though.
