Shower + Ach Brito Glyce face lather and rinse
Noxzema lather shave cream
Merkur badger brush + safety razor + Personna stainless blade

Acca Kappa white moss aftershave


After a couple shaves with the non-lathering Barbasol, I prefer a lathering shave cream; the Noxzema is a real "classic"!

Wow...!! Super nice tobacco(vanilla) scent and aroma with this soap. Even my wife says so. Creamily slick too... totally enjoyed the lather! Finally, able to get another great tobacco scent after Cavendish (2 other tobacco soaps were a dud)
Shave with the new SE razor paired with the blade was just acceptable. Smooth and comfortable for 3passes except for the atg on chin and lips area. In general, not efficient enough. Only able to get a SAS result. Positive was no nicks or weepers. Gotta try a sharper blade. Mmmmm...can still smell the soap scent faintly 2 hours later...nice! Rating 9/10

A Cell Phone Shave

Preshave Preparation: Hot Shower
Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
Soap: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Bowl: Savanna Shave Scuttle
Brush: RazoRock 400 Plissoft Knot
Razor: Rockwell 6S with plate 6
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless shave 8
Postshave: Barbero Alum Block, Hyaluronic Acid, CeraVe AM Moisturizer
EDT: Kouros - I may be WFH, but I still like to smell good.
The Shave: I learned today to never take your cell phone into your shave den. I did a two pass shave rinsing with warm water between shaves. After the last shave I rinsed with cold water and then applied the alum block. After a minute, I rinsed the alum with cold water and then applied Hyaluronic Acid and moisturizer. I then proceeded to the bald spot shave. I shaved the top of my head the same way I shaved my face. During my shave my phone rang 4 times and I answered it each time. Needless to say the disruption affected the shave.
The Results: An okay shave, just about my worst shave since leaving cartridge razors. There were no nicks or cuts, but i irritated my neck.
