Razor: THIERS-ISSARD Buffalo / Light Horn 
Soap: PRORASO Green Eucalyptus / Menthol 

Trying my hardest to lock down some straight skills, my technique is not very good directly in the middle of my throat, I start shaking, back off, and go back slowly

Straight Razor skills are on my bucket list of things to accomplish 

Well, well today I reached for a special razor in the collection my 1969 Gillette Super Adjustable or “Super 84”. Not only is it a minty, cased example but also my birth year razor! Loaded up with Gillette Nacet and enjoyed a truly smooth shave.

The Santa Maria del Fiore Firenze by RazoRock is truly a late Summer early Fall scent. Smoky wild flowers with a hint of tobacco. Great lather and a real pleasure to use. Bowl lathered today and the SilkSmoke did a great job of getting all going.

Lovely three pass DFS was all that was required. Hard to believe the razor is almost 50! The fat, old guy wielding it isn’t too bad either.

Have fun and safe travels!
