An experimental shave​

Preshave Preparation: Hot shower & face wash with MWF
Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
Brush: RR 400 Plissoft knot
Bowl: Savanna Shave Scuttle
Soap: The Fat
Razor: Rockwell 6S with plate 4
Aftershave Treatment: Alum Block, Hyaluronic Acid, CeraVe AM Moisturizer
The Shave: I did a couple of things different on this shave. 1 I waited to put the Preshave on until the lather was ready. I have been putting the Preshave on and then prepping the lather. By the time the lather is resdy, the Preshave has all but disappeared. 2 I ignored all the advice about adding water to the fat until you have a shiny yogurts lather. Instead I only added a little water until I had a slick lather. Most would say it was under hydrated. I did two passes XTG & ATG with a warm water rinse between passes. After the last pass I used cold water and then applied the alum. After cleaning my brush, I washed off the alum and applied the HA and then immediately applied the moisturizer.
Result: Smooth BBS shave with no irritation, nicks or cuts. 7 hours after the shave there is but a hint of stubble. I found that the less hydrated Fat was more protective than the well hydrated fat. I will try it again tomorrow.
