Straight Razor Experiment

Welcome to Modernized Wetshaving, where we explore the ancient art of shaving with modern equipment!

Razor: Crown B. S. Co. Straight
Blade:
Brush: Fine Stout Synthetic
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Aftershave: Jeris Osage Rub

Soap Ratings:
1. Thickness/Cushion ★★★★☆
2. Slickness/Lubricity ★★★★☆
3. Duration/Dissipation ★★★★☆
4. Water Sensitivity ★★★☆☆

For the third time in my entire life, I attempt to shave with a straight razor! Unfortunately, the results were disappointing, but I will eventually try again. The problem was that I didn't hone the blade on a fine enough stone to get the edge right. I am glad that I tried on a cheap used razor rather than an expensive new straight!
