Post: Gentleman Jon Alum block

Preshave was just face wash with warm water and post shave was rinse with warm water then some cold water splashes and pat dry, then apply the alum block

Comments: Shave was like Wow! I haven't used the H1 plate til today and all I can say is WOW. It going up against a two day growth as I didn't shave yesterday. The shave was very, very good, I managed to get a DFS in only two passes and almost no touch up. Dang close to a BBS everywhere, even on the neck area! One very small weeper as I was trying to get too cocky on my jawline it disappeared just as fast as it appeared. Very slight irritation felt in that same area from the Alum blocks feedback. Absolutely no complaints today as the H1 plate took off the two day growth like nobody's business! I got another great shave,
