Nice soap...creamy and slick lather with pleasant scent. Enjoyed creating it with the brush.
Shave with razor paired with blade was really nice. Sharp, smooth and comfortable for 3+1passes without any issues. Very close shave. Good razor and good blade! Rating 9.8/10

Have some great shaves! Stay & Think safe in these times.
 
Today's shave was for contouring my beard above the cheek line. I used the Feather Artist Club shavette with their Proguard blade. And I used Tomb 45 gel, as I needed a clear view of the beard line. I think this gel is a great lubricant and provides me a good view of the line I want to create. The Feather Proguard blade is very smooth and comfortable. The shavette is much easier and more accurate than my Fat Boy or my other DE razors when it comes to creating an exact beard line. This is my first beard and I have had it for a few months. Knock on wood, I have not yet nicked myself with the straight edge.

Nice one! The Feather Artist Club is a superb razor and well worth a sustained period of use to improve technique. It will give a fantastically close shave but will also punish poor technique or lack of attention. Very, very light pressure, a wetter lather than for a DE, and total concentration are key for me. 👍
