Grooming Dept. Pre Balm
Da Vinci uomo 296 22/55mm
Grooming Dept. prototype soap “Kairos” 4.13 (Thanks Mohammed)
Razor: ATT G-1 w/brand new CVS carbon SE blade
Bart’s post-balm

3 day’s growth. First go-around with the ATT G-1 (Thanks Andy), and 1st attempt at traditional shaving with a SE and first use of new (to me) brush (Thanks Sanjay). GD soap has a nice mild scent and good lather and slickness. Took my time and paid attention. Resulted in CCS and no bloodshed. I’m calling that success. The G-1 requires a very large angle (i.e., need to ride the cap) to get the blade edge where it needs to be. Nice stable blade and good feedback in both sound and feel. Will need more shaves to get the hang of this razor, compared to a DE. More fun exploration.

Happy Shaving to All.

Today's shave continues with T&H Ultimate Comfort cream. This is one of my favorite creams. The brush today was an Omega Boar: B&B 10th Anniversary Edition. The razor was a Wolfman SS SB 1.05 loaded with a Wizamet Super Iridium blade. The AS was Thayers Rose Petal WH followed by Neutrogena Triple Protect. After my shower the frag was Jimmy Choo Man Intense.

The Popular turns the Feather blade from a beast to a puppy dog. It's so mild that I remained with some roughness around my sideburns that I did not expect. But it was one of the smoothest shaves I've had in a while.
