Friday 30th September, shave #273
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Lather: Gillette Sensitive Gel with Aloe
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #2
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave
Repeated an experiment I haven't tried since getting a synthetic brush, bowl-lathering canned gel.
I find these products too dry, and finger-lathering them as recommended is a very hit-and-miss way of hydrating them.
Used a large gobbet, and lathered it like shaving cream, adding drops of hot water. This attempt came out too wet, making it messy to use, but shave performance and post-shave were both fine.
I think this would be OK to use up, if I can get the amount of water right.
