Razor..Hone type 15a
Blade..Derby #1

Last night after reading the thread on DRY SHAVING ? Started by @Satanfriendly I said I would try anything once and give it a bash....well, to be honest I didn't think this was going to be good but I took one for the team to put this to bed...can you dry shave , it was @Johnus who gave full instruction of a dry face, a new Derby blade, shave WTG only finish with a nice alcohol aftershave.
I did as instructed and it wasn't too uncomfortable , it for me felt dirty, like a hobo shave but I persevered and got to the end after two passes and a clean up and it was done...a DFS not a BBS but a DFS for sure.
Time for the aftershave, now I'm thinking this is going to sting like f@@@ but no it was quite a mild stinging nothing to make you go ahh!

So to sum up ..yes you can dry shave, will I do it again yes if my water was cut off and I've drained the tank. I does work but it's not for me , I likes my soap and water and brush.

Wishing you all a great week over and out.

Sorry Pat, but even if I had found it to be the next best thing to happen to shaving I've got too much spent on soaps and brushes to change my habits . It did work though, and if you haven't tried it I think you should, just to say ,yea done that!

Paul the way Wolfman does business if he threw a razor at me I'd duck. Frankly he can keep them.

Sorry it was the Handle that though me off ha.. Yes I am confused at the way he conducts his business , I think it may just to keep his razors in that nearly unobtainable relm and therefore making them more desirable . He won't reply to sent emails, not realy a way to do business but he still has a long line of people clamouring to get hold of his razors and to be fair his razors seem to be fantastic by all accounts but I fear I will never find out!
 
Prep - Fitjar soap
Pre shave - Argan Oil
Razor - Feather WS-D1S
Blade – Feather
Cream - PannaCrema
A/S – Floris No 89

Argh, stupidest shave ever. Daydreaming as I'm shaving (about the Ralph Aust I've ordered, ironically!), and I pulled the razor upwards and the Feather blade sliced through my nostril. Finished the first pass with blood streaming down my face, and bailed out.

Have just spent 15 minutes soaking kitchen towel with my blood and trying to get my nostril to stop bleeding.

Rookie, rookie mistake. Forget it Jake. It's Chinatown.

Unlucky, you will have to be more careful with the Ralph Aust though!
Have you stopped the blood loss yet?
