Straights Mudruck's memoirs of shaving with a straight razor.

Day 1 with the Gold Dollar 66.

Took extra time with prep and only lathered half my face to prevent the lather on the far side from drying out before I got to it.

Soap: L'Occitane Cade
Brush: Rubberset 303

Took it slow and it went really well.
Took extra time to be careful about keeping angle correct and keeping grip and hand placement consistent.
Both cheeks went well. Chin area little tougher. Under the chin took a little extra work to keep the angle correct. Ended up with a missed spot under the chin, but nothing too bad.

Overall time: 30mins
Smoothness: 8
Comfort: 9
