Brush before shave 10
10 shaves down with the Weck. It is just the 12th straight/shavette shave I’ve done. No faults again, but still not a comfortable shave. When I bring out the safety razor again next month, they will feel easy. I’m getting more consistent with the face lathering though. I’m starting to get more than just the citrus and benzoin. I am starting to pick up something I’d just call green, fresh cut plants. Once the citrus fades, maybe I’ll get a bit of the sandalwood, but fresh after the shave and splash, the vanilla notes of the benzoin are covering it up I think.
I am wondering how well the blade will last. Now it is wider than a GEM blade, so the edge does less overall travel on the face. Maybe it will still feel ok when I have 3x the shaves on it.
