Soap: Stirling Wintergreen
Razor: Rolls Razor
Brush: Omega boar
Aftershave: Osage Rub
Balm: Nivea Sensitive
Some improvement in the blade after taking it to the stones yesterday, but I feel like it can still do a little better. Going to keep the edge as is for a while to see if it's technique related and not the edge itself. Just felt slightly tuggy on the chin. Tempted fate with an ATG pass, and got no irritation/weepers, which royally surprised me. I've had marginal luck with doing that with DE.
All in all though pretty happy with how the shave turned out. I felt like I had to push it a little on the chin, but was able to without consequence. Not going to bet on that in the future though. I've paid the price for that in the past.
Finally tried the Stirling Wintergreen sample my dad gave me. Gotta say, Stirling nailed this one!
9/10.
