Excellent shave today. 3 passes 1 WTG, 1 XTG, 1 ATG. The Shave Secret performed well today and confirmed that the burning on my face was in fact caused by the Mama Bear's as was my original fear. I have several soap out for delivery from Sue and will continue to use them I plan on trying out Sam's technique to burn off some of the harsh ingredients in the microwave prior to use. Hopefully that takes the edge off of them. The Arko performed even better today then it did yesterday, a superb lather this shave on all three passes. Another excellent showing by the WD synthetic. I really like it a lot. It is amazingly soft and yet with great backbone to it, hard to beat really. I have a few knots on order from The Golden Nib which includes one of their nylon knots, we'll see how the two compare. Either way the price is right on them and I could see using them often. Today was the first day using a mismatch head and handle on my razor. I decided to give it a shot since I really like the feel of the Tech handle and wanted to use an open comb today and I was pleasantly surprised with the result. I also used Wilkinson blades for the first time today and they were excellent as well. I just happened to see them in the store the other day and picked up a tuck. I might have to find a larger supply of them if they all preform as well as today's blade. It was also my first day using Clubman. I had been unable to find it in my local area and can't get it shipped to Alaska as it contains alcohol. I ran across it in a store downtown and just had to pick it up. It was great and the scent is a bit subdued compared to Old Spice which I like.
Score:
Another top scoring shave today. I'm really dialing in my technique lately and my consistency has resulted in some truly incredible shaves. I would wager that today's shave was even better then yesterday. BBS and only 3 passes today. I think the results were reached with only 3 passes as opposed to 4 due to a hold over from yesterdays shave as well as a more aggressive razor in the rotation. Excited to go at it again tomorrow!
