Well got the stuff for Christmas so I started experimenting.

First shave was high on razor burn. I don't think everything was as wet as it needed to be.

Second shave (which I have some pics of) went far better I just needed some work in a few places after I made 3 passes. Had a tiny nick the second shave but it wasn't even a drop of blood. Felt very itchy for about 10 minutes after shave which is unusual but the shave itself was mostly pleasant and close.

I also found some of my dad's old stuff (mug, witch hazel, and soap) which I also took pictures of.

If anyone wants to see the picture set I'll upload it.

Of course, Elm.. We'd love to see the photo!

Pictures are never refused at DFS!

Hey Elm, really decent. The neck is the area I find most difficult to shave close.

The neck is more often than not the toughest part to shave.

BTW, how old is that Klar soap? I would hang on to it for now before doing anything until you really know what you have there. (i.e. it could fetch a pretty penny on ebay)

I don't recognize the Klar soap in that picture.

I agree Freddy, the neck is usually the most troublesome when learning. As for the Razor Burn, I think when people say "No Pressure on the Razor" our minds seem to accept that as something we can understand with great ease, but when it comes time to shave the brain switches into Auto-Pilot and we are not aware that we are applying pressure as we would with a cartridge razor. Kinda like keep your eye on the ball, easier said than done.

Let that razor "float like a butterfly so it doesn't sting like a bee" (with apologies to Cassius Ali). Snazzy robe BTW.

I meant to say that Klar doesn't look like my Klar

My Klar Kabinett came in a giant brick ( see picture below ... Arko included for scale ... the two long white rectangular pieces are the actual Klar soap).



Bullgoose used to sell two other versions of Klar in round tins that had different scents from the Kabinett. I think they were a Sandalwood and something called Sport.
