Prep: Shower + Proraso - Refrescante Preshave Cream
Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Phantom Aerolite Spectral Synth Hybrid Brush
Razor: Rockwell - 6s R6 plate
Blade: Personna - Super (1)
Lather: Declaration Grooming - Shore shave soap
Post Shave: Alum Block + Declaration Grooming - Shore Aftershave Splash
With the paste-like milksteak base and the useless floppy, fake hair of the PAA Phantom Aerolite I had a real tough time getting a decent lather going. In the spirit of the Lather Games, I pursued and was finally rewarded with a decent, albeit somewhat watery lather. Double-pass shave with the Personna blade turned out nice and smooth. Not BBS, but definitely a DFS.
Challenge: I really dislike this brush and wasn't looking forward to using it today, but it helped fit the bill of color coordination, so today was a nice blue skies at the beach kind of shave.
