Lathered up well and got an awesome shave today, did not feel the razor at all. APR performed amazing and the A&E Uno is simply incredible to me, by far my favourite splash to date.

The straight that started my journey down the cut throat rabbit hole and one of my favourite soaps. If I were stranded on a desert island I would definitely chose to have this soap with me. Quick one pass, with close enough results for work. Don't want to sound cocky, but think I am getting the hang of this straight razor game. Now to up my honing skills.
 
Pre: Warm water, Crew oil
Razor: Gillette Slim H-1 1962 (5)
Blade: Gillette Nacet (1)
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk2
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Squadron Red Lead
Post: Old Spice
The Squadron Red Lead pairs nicely with old spice. Two passes and touch up for a DFS.
