Modern May Challenge

Last night’s shave
RazoRock “German” 37
Permasharp Super (2)
Damp washcloth aka “shave binky”
APShaveCo Cashmere 30mm synthetic brush
Pre-shave: hot shower
Lather: ARKO!, bloomed, face-lathered
Post-shave: face wash with shave binky
Post-shave: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream

One ATG pass on face, two ATG passes on neck. This blade and razor and my hands don’t seem like a trifecta. At least I have more Shark Platinum blades.

With a fresh Ted Pella blade in the Parker adjustable injector, I lathered up some MdC Rose with my Simpson’s Chubby 2 synthetic. Finished up with GFT coral skin food.

DFS with my Yaqi Katana. I really like this inexpensive little single edge/half DE razor.

Last night’s shave
RazoRock “German” 37
Shark Super Stainless (1)
Damp washcloth aka “shave binky”
APShaveCo Cashmere 30mm synthetic brush
Pre-shave: hot shower
Lather: ARKO!, bloomed, face-lathered
Post-shave: face wash with shave binky
Post-shave: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream

Worked better than the Permasharp in this razor. Much more pleasant, but behind the Shark Platinum in comfort. Unless it’s the bloomed AARKO! and all three blades are awesome? Or I’m too ham-handed and all three blades are awesome. Won’t bloom the ARKO! remnants in my coffee cup next time.

Preshave: PAA Mentholated Cube in the shower
Bowl: Captain’s Choice Copper
Brush: M&F Heritage II L7 in antique ivory and tortoise shell 26 mm hybrid
Soap: Martin de Candre Vetyver
Razor: Wolfman WR2 1.25 SB / Fat Tech Handle

Post: Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel and PAA Alum
Balm : Brickell Instant Relief
Splash: Fine Green Vetiver with a ton of menthol
Frag: Guerlain Homme EdP
Rating: DFS+ 9.7 a little blood

First shave with the WR2 1.25 in a month. A good shave, but, I was a little heavy handed. Alum, styptic, and Brickell came out. That said I am smoother than I have been in a while.
