Cream: Proraso SC (green - new formulation)

I haven't used the Super Speed for about two years or so. The SS/IP combo was one I settled on early, but abandoned when I got my Muhle R89. I'm glad I broke out the SS today, as this was one of my best shaves ever.

Thanks for reading!

First shave with a straight razor. Went well, still trying to figure out how to use my left hand, and not just my right hand. It's gonna take a while, but the shave was nice and smooth! Had to finish most of my neck with my EJ 89L.
