Wednesday Morning Whisker Walkabout

Rating: 9.85/10 Amazing

A new little brush from Frank Shaving (it actually was a throw in as I ordered two new Brushes which you will see over the next two Days). What a little power house. Good scrub on the face and made enough lather for a three pass and clean up.

Comments	One day growth. Another fine shave with the Variant. The GSB blade with light ATG strokes and setting 2 (about 4/10 - as it goes by halves) is working well for me. Virtually no stubble. On a lime kick to use up my Trumpers Lime Skin Food AS balm. Three passes and one clean up. The alum block didn't show any hot spots. No nicks. No cuts. No irritation. DFS++ Cheers!

April 17, 2024 Monday shave

Razor: Henson AL13+++ V2
Blade: Gillette Nacet (4)
Soap: Black Ship Siren's Song
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Timberwolf
Post shave: Osma alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Fine Snake Bite

I used the Henson +++ again, this is a duplicate of Monday's shave. It's wonderfully efficient and easy to use. No weepers, etc. and no irritation.
The Black Ship soap worked out well. It was the first use of a sample that's been sitting for a year and a half.

9.5/10

Enjoy your day!

Razor: Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip 1956
Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum
Brush: PAA Peregrino G5B knot
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements
Soap: A&E Asian Pear

Pre shave: Kyle's Routine, La Toja
Aftershave: A&E Asian Pear

A very nice shave for sure.
First use of Asian Pear was much more subdued than expected.
A&E lather performance is once again outstanding and the lingering scent of the AS is very spa like and draws me back for another whiff of the scent.
