SEptember shave #13 on 36-hours growth
I'm a big fan of Schick injectors for their simplicity, maneuverability, and general overall ease of use. They also give me a very comfortable and pretty close shave. I also wanted to use this very interesting Daveli Farms soap again. I think it is going to be one of my favorites. The limited information posted by others was positive enough that I bought this soap and one other puck in a different scent (Green Tea). I wouldn't describe the lather as super thick or cushiony (could be me), but it IS very slick and protective, even though it feels very light on my face. I'm going to keep using it to see whether I can make a thicker lather with some more patience. The two times I've used it, I loaded the brush in the mug shown in the photo and face lathered it. The first application of lather was much thicker than the second. I'm still learning with it, but I've had two really great shaves with it.
