Razor: Razorine Flatboy
Blade: Treet King (4)
Brush: Yaqi Moka Express
Soap: Soap Commander Gusto
AS: Cella
First use of the Razorine Flatboy. The head holds the blade with a very minimal bend to it which really allows the blade to sing (aka chatter) during the shave. The head also allows for a very wide range of angles which can be used while still allowing the blade the engage. I used a more aggressive angle on the WTG pass and a shallower (riding the cap) angle XTG. The result was a very near BBS two pass shave .

There's nothing like an aggressive razor to teach you how to shave with no pressure. But I agree a bad experience could turn someone off to the process.

I skipped another day of shaving, but I am continuing with the same gear. I did the neck, stache, and soulpatch shave.
I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did two passes with the Schick L-1 razor with a Personna injector blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Old Spice Classic After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
