Wednesday shave
Prep: Noxzema
Soap: Noble Otter BarrBarr
Brush: SOC Best Badger
Razor: Wilkinson Sword TTO, shave #5
Blade: Shaico (#3 and binned)
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid-> NO BarrBarr aftershave
CCS again with the Shaico blade. Tugged, but got it done. Definitely not as close or comfortable for me as an Astra SP. Interesting the Shaico was nigh unusable in the Merkur, but worked somewhat in the Wilkinson Sword. I went ahead and rolled my next blade, which will be a Vokshod Teflon. I might roll a backup, too, in case that doesn't work.
First use of the BarrBarr, which is in the original NO base. Used the Marco Method, face-lathered for a change, and had zero issues. Probably the lightest NO scent I've tried, but that may be due to the age of the soap. I was lucky that the matching aftershave, which I picked up from Reddit, happened to show up today. Good timing.
