Thursday, January 5, 2012

1. Prep: Hot shower; Yardley bath bar; hand strop blade
2. Coffee: Locally roasted, fresh ground Costa Rican w/ cream
3. Lather: MWF - face lather
4. Brush: Simpson's Commodore X2
5. Razor: Gem OCMM
6. Blade: Pella SS PTFE coated (10); 3 passes
7. Post: Cold water rinse; Aqua Velva + Kiehl's Balm

First off I must say after using the horsehair for 2 straight days that the Simpson's Best hair was a complete luxury. My stallion hasn't been tamed yet but I'll keep breaking him in, just not 2 shaves in a row again though. A bit of irritation on the left side of my neck as the blade was D.U.N., done. Fresh blade for tomorrow. But even with that the MWF felt wonderful and confirmed to me that I've waited too long to use it again. Definitely a top-tier soap worthy of its following. For those that have a hard time lathering it keep practicing, it's certainly worth the effort. The pic below is the leftover lather after my 3-pass shave.

Shave Rating - Splendid! God Bless!
