What a stellar evening shave, 10/10. I wasn't a huge fan of the B&M Spice when I first acquired it, but it has definitely grown on me. It's so easy to create an amazing lather with any brush I throw at it. I'm still iffy about the Spice AS, but maybe I need to revisit. And yes, I grew up smelling the original Old Spice that my Dad and Grandpa used. The scent of the soap comes close, but the splash seems kinda cloying to me.

Brush: RazoRock Plissoft RR400
Aftershave: Stetson Cooling Moisture
Rating: 7/10, SAS
Quick morning shave to get off the worst of the stubble. I knew I was going to shave in the evening so I did not want to puch my luck and do a full three pass shave. It was good enough for the day's endeavours, but not really a satisfying one. Still it served it's purpose.

What a pleasant last shave for this blade and a rare BBS at that! A great way to cap off a great shave week. Super smooth and comfortable. Blade could have easily have gone a few more shaves. Not a lick of irritation.

Evening shave - 5/19/24
Razor: Merkur 41C
Blade: Ladas Stainless Steel (2/5) (1)
Soap: BSS #1
Brush: RazoRock Plissoft RR400
Aftershave: Stetson Cooling Moisture
Rating: 9.5/10, DFS+
Time to pull out the Merkur 41C again and get some shaves on it. Just going back and looking at my previous shaves with this razor it confirmed my feelings about it. It feels quite inefficient. I was still able to get quite a close and respectable shave with it, but it took a lot of work to get there. Also, something that I did not notice last time is that it seems like one side of the razor is more efficient than the other and there seems to be a slight alignment issue. I tried to adjust it but to no avail. Anyways a good shave.

Comments
This was the third consecutive shave with my Henson AL I3 ++ and Feather blade. Once again, the shave was close and smooth. The Feather blade is holding up nicely. It’s back to the natural hair brushes. The Shavemac 177 was the first Shavemac brush I purchased. The Haslinger tallow soap made excellent lather. This was the 22nd consecutive day I used the soap. The shave was perfect. Have a wonderful day, folks.
