Brush: Omega 599 Super Badger 22/48
Soap: TFS Tabacum Crepito
Razor: Henson AL13-M head on Phoenix Aluminum Bomb Tip 3¼" (83mm) handle
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (2)
ASL: Clubman VIBR

A good shave.

My second Henson shave was a definite improvement on the first. I stopped pretending that I was playing miniature golf and swapped the OE handle for one of my old favorite Phoenix Aluminum Bomb Tips (14mm shorter and 1g lighter). I also piled on additional pressure. Result... back to BBS.
It's still strange, but then... I enjoy strange.

The rest of the team soothed the strangeness somewhat. (I often wonder what a normal shave would be like. )


Happy shaves guys.

Saturday shave

Prep: Curology Cleanser
Cream: ToBS Royal Forest
Brush: Simpson Astor A1 in Best
Razor: Gillette fat handle Tech, #1
Blade: Astra SP, #1
Post: alum -> hyaluronic acid -> Clubman Reserve Gent's Gin

First use of the Tech so a basic two-passes only for this baseline shave. DFS face and mostly CCS neck with a patch of SAS at either side of my Adam's apple. A most comfortable shave, confirmed by zero feedback from the alum.

*Made the mistake of leaving this puck
uncovered when not in use; now the scent
is almost gone. Still a great soap, but it's
time to buy a new puck in a container.

Stay healthy, everyone!
