Monday night shave

5DBE26D4-E2EA-41E8-B0A7-1591DF1BAC3E.jpeg


Prep: Noxzema
Soap: Proraso
Brush: Stirling Kong
Razor: Merkur 34C HD, shave #6
Blade: Astra SP, shimmed (#3)
Post: Skin Bracer

Another day, another two-pass DFS. Tried some new angles of attack on my neck without much of a difference. Great performance from the Proraso, but did not get any menthol (it was a BST buy and I think it may have been an older soap). I jumped in the shower right after and didn't do my usual alum and hyaluronic acid combo. The alum I didn't miss, but the hyaluronic acid I did.
 
Tue 17th SOTD
Soap Ariana & Evans Peach & Cognac
Brush BOTI 26mm Silvertip
Razor EJ DE89L
Blade Kai 2nd (Re-used after last bad experience & was suprised)
Post & Aftershaves
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Clubman Whisky Wood
Took abit of time but the lather from the soap was great! Nice scent and slick... brush is nicely soft...
Shave with evergreen razor paired with this blade that failed me on 1st use with the GC.84 turns out to be a suprised! Much more sharpish, smoother and comfortable. No tugging nor skipping. What a revelation indeed!! Did an enjoyable 3+1passes for between bbs to dfs/ccs. Excellent post & aftershave. Rating 9.7
Side note: One thing I learned from shaving is not to give up on any gears easily, either soft or hardware...hahaha. I am still suprised though...
