Face Lather

Astra SP has become my favorite blade. Very smooth shave no cuts weepers or irritation. Arko performed excellent got enough soap for 3 passes on one load. Compared to the Razorock stick Arko edges out slightly on slickness next time I will try to add more water to the Razorock stick. Scent wise Razorock destroyed Arko but I still enjoy Arko.

Shave 20200528

Razor: Timeless Ti 0.68-SB
Blade: Kai (2)
Brush: OMEGA Jade 011842 Premium Pure Bristle
Soap: Zingari Man The Wanderer
Post-shave: DSA Crystal Alum
Aftershave Balm: Hyaluronic Acid
Aftershave: Zingari Man The Wanderer
Cologne: Classic Match Blue Eau de Toilette Spray (Polo Blue clone)

WTG, XTG, XTG & ATG. Minor touch-up.

DFS++ with no nicks, weepers, cuts or irritation.

First use of Zingari Man The Wanderer. Excellent lather, slick and cushioning. Great post-shave face feel! This soap will definitely remain in my rotation.

Have to comment on how good the OMEGA Jade 011842 Premium Pure Bristle brush really is. Once broken in (and it was the easiest and shortest break-in of any boar brush I've had), this is an awesome brush - type of knot notwithstanding (). Smooth on my face. Not harsh at all and with the right amount of scrub and splay. Bowl lather or face lather - no problem. Great brush!

YMMV.

Single pass shave with a little cleanup....No nicks!​

I've changed my rating difficulty as I improve using an SR. I paid close attention to under my chin, but an hour later I could still feel a little stubble.​

Bit of a mixed bag today. Shave was ATG, XTG, XTG and ATG on cheeks (first ever attempt). Felt like a comfortable shave, with little irritation but had a few weepers around my usual trouble spots, so going to try switching up the XTG directions next time. On the plus side, I made an ATG pass on my cheeks while riding the cap with no weepers on this pass and (I think) BBS on my cheeks.

One of my top soap...terrific scent. Another nice face lathering result..creamily thick and slick. The brush is very good...soft, backbone and can splay nicely. Shave with razor paired with blade was ok. Did not feel as smooth and resulted with some weepers. 3 multiple passes and managed between BBS to DFS with a 8/10 rating.
Great post shave feel with the Hyaluronic Acid and top-off with Cavendish splash which lasted for 5+hrs.
