Fridays are normally the day I shave my nostrils and inside my ears. This is done with my Gold Dollar W59 off diamond pasted balsa. Everything was going well so I decided to continue on with this razor and shave the rest of my face.

I am starting to get this Wholly Kaw "Washington's Blend" soap to work with straight razor shaving. I found that this soap needs more work when face lathering. It lacks as much residual slickness as I normally get from most of my other soaps but it still works quite well.
