Shave of the Day - 8/19

Proraso Pre Shave
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #144
Russian Raketa Straight
CWR
Thayer's Peach WH
Barbasol AS

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 finest badger brush. I did the two passes with the Russian Raketa Straight and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Russian "Raketa" Rocket Straight

I first saw this razor on the TSD Raffle. I knew that I would like to have one like it, so when I saw this on eBay, I got it. The top two pictures are from the eBay offering.

It arrived today, and I took these pictures. It will probably need a good honing to get it shave ready, but at least I have my Russian "Raketa" Rocket straight.
