My First DFS

by

Feb. 23, 2021

  • Prep: Hot Shower, Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Pre-Shave Cream
  • Brush: Wahl Traditional Barbers Badger Brush
  • Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89 Knurled
  • Blade: Feather (3)
  • Lather: MÜHLE Aloe Vera Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Alum Block, Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Pre-Shave Cream

A DFS in three passes, WTG/XTG/ATG.

First two passes gave a really good shave, with the bucket loads of lather left over, I went for a final pass ATG. Made the really good shave into a DFS and almost BBS.

Shave for a New Week

  • Prep: Hot Shower, Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Pre-Shave Cream

  • Blade: Feather (2)
  • Lather: MÜHLE Aloe Vera Shaving Soap

A nice two & half pass shave. Initially WTG for the whole face, had a slight nick. Second pass XTG with a second nick. Finally ATG on the cheeks only for a close finish. Finished up with the alum block to finalise the shave.

Loving the $2.80 bowl I picked up at the variety store the other week to use as my shaving bowl. It allows me create lots of lather to comfort the razor for each pass.

Super Smooth

A three pass shave. WTG, XTG and finally ATG on the cheeks.

A few minor weepers from my first use with the ultra sharp Feather Blade. But overall a great shave with ultra smooth results.
