    ䷀ General Notes

    Great slurry lather today. Everything went very well.

    ䷀ Razor and Blade Notes

    (Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet - M ‹502 uses›)

    Same: First pass or two has some tugginess to it. But no irritation that lasts longer than a little tuggy stroke. Latter passes feel great and give a reasonably close shave. 5 pretty quick passes.

    Razor and Blade Performance/Comfort Rating: 2 out of 5 (Okay)

    ䷀ Soap Notes

    (Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - White Label)

    I just love all the aspects of this scent!

    Scent Strength: 6/10, nicely present during shaving.

    Lather… Slurry again. Worked out great this time. Very light, but slick on the first pass, and then second, and third got even better as the lather matured. Plenty left over after 5 passes.

    Hydration: Perfect (for me)

    • 12 sec load with a Very Wet brush
    • = 6 passes of lather

    Bowl: No Bowl

    ䷀ Brush Notes

    (Zenith - r/wetshaving MOAR BOAR B35/508A XL ‹27 uses›)

    Brush felt better than yesterday sinceI started out with more soap in the brush. Not plush, but mostly soft and comfy.


    During the Shave Feel:
      Cheeks: Just a little tugging
      Neck: Just a little tugging
    After the Shave Closeness:
      Cheeks: Close Shave
      Neck: Many hairs show whisker tips with a little length to them
