Thursday morning- a relaxed great shave today- three passes, 9+++/10, no mishaps and just shy of perfect:
Pre-shave: shower and face wash with Nivea Hydrating wash
Razor: Occam's OREN- two-dot head
Blade: Feather Pro (1)- fresh blade today made a big difference. Same shave effort resulted in a much closer and cleaner result. Seems these blades are maxing out at about seven uses.
Brush: Omega 10019 small scrubby boar; improving slowly and was okay today, just enough lather for a full shave. I did the soak overnight in conditioner to see if I could soften the brush a bit. I'll keep experimenting on it to see if I can get it to the point of actual liking it!
Soap: Canada Shave Soap- This soap is working surprisingly well for me. It's a vegan offering with only six ingredients, but it must be done just right- rich, creamy, and slick lather each use. The puck is hard, aged for months before sale.
Post-shave: cold rinse, Clubman AS- felt the alcohol this morning, nice.
As we reach the end of the week may your shaves reach their peak!
