Chan Eil Whiskers
Fumbling about.
Shaking things up a little this morning I am.
Usual, of recent days, since Christmas, razor. SE2 loaded with a Proline on, I think, its third use.
Homemade shave oil
Captain's Choice North
Omega Mixed Midget brush
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Cologne and After Shave
Cremo Moisturizer
Syptic pencil because I nicked my chin due to a too steep angle on a spot. No big deal.
My first pass was N-S.
Second pass was S-N.
Other than my lower lip, chin, and upper lip, that's it. Simple.
Yes, I got a decent enough shave for work. It's too soon to fully assess how smooth and close the shave is, but I'll try. I have been noticing that my shaves with the SE2 are not necessarily very smooth, but they are tending to be close (that is long lasting).
Today my shave was comfortable enough during most of the actual shave. I was really riding the cap! Mostly this was a deliberate effort to stay away from the blade feel of this razor. I believe it worked pretty well. It's not like the blade disappeared or anything like that.
Gracious, this razor is aggressive feeling! Nobody is kidding about that. No, sir!
Pretty good shave. Could be more comfortable, but I had residual itching (not a lot, but some) from yesterday. BBS face. DFS neck (I think).
The brush is my very smallest brush. It punches way above its size and price point. It was pretty well broken in before this first shave with it, and it felt decent on my face for an inexpensive badger mixed with boar brush. It lathers amazingly well, but had to be reloaded a few times with soap, a process taking an extra five seconds. I like the little brush, and find it very easy to work with. Plus, it rinses faster than any other brush I've used.
Captain's Choice North was a treat. It performed well, and it smells wonderful. Really a great scent. Very strong. Very nice.
Happy shaves,
Jim
