Preshave: warm shower
Razor: Timeless .95 Open Comb Base Plate, Smooth Cap, Barbershop handle
Brush: Paladin PK-47 26mm
Soap: Sudsy Soapery White Sage and Lime
Blade: Feather (about 5 shaves on it - I think)
Aftershave: Neutrogena Post Shave Lotion
This shave with the .95 open comb was a lot better than the first. Mainly because I slowed down a bit and focused on technique. Much smoother of a shave and much more enjoyable. The Sudsy Soapery soap is very forgiving and an absolute joy to use. I like the White Sage and Lime scent but honestly for me it doesn't compare to their Peppermint and Lavender which is one of my absolute favorite soaps ever made. Still the lather is exceptional and the post shave is out of this world.
The first pass went off well. The razor feels great on my face and while I definitely know that it's there it's still quite comfortable to shave with. The razor is heavy and smooth as opposed to the lighter more nimble Wolfman made products that I sometime use. I find it to be somewhere in the ball park in terms of aggressiveness as an ATT R1 razor. The pass is quite enjoyable but the razor does demand my attention and respect. The pass is a success as most of the stubble is cleared with no nicks or cuts.
Pass two is more of the same enjoyable shave. It it comfortable and smooth while still demanding my attention. The razor glides effortlessly and the stubble is quickly cleared.
Pass three is mostly clean up as the first two passes have cleared the majority of the previous day's growth. The razor is an absolute pleasure to use. I find it as efficient as an ATT R series razor while still being quite a bit smoother. The large drainage holds make the razor extremely easy to rinse as turning is sideways and running water through these holes clears the shaving cream as quickly as the water touches the razor.
I'm getting used to the more aggressive plate but I think I still prefer the .68 plates.
