This was the second shave with the Razor Rock Stealth Slant razor and Personna Medical Prep blade. I like this razor. However, the one thing I don’t like is the bulk of the head. It is difficult to get all of the hairs close to my nose. The next brush in my rotation was an Omega 81052 Boar brush. The brush easily loads lather and makes plenty of it. Razor Rock soap was used for the 23rd consecutive day. The result was a perfect BBS shave. Have a wonderful day and week, folks.

Another reason for doing this was technique with the shavette.
That is defintely happening.
This was once again one of the Best Shaves so far.

And does the Mama Bear’s do that for you? It sounds like it would be a relaxing, pleasant shave to start the day off wonderfully.
