- Razor: C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher #EIGHTDAYSAWEEK #STAINLESSLESS #RUSTYBUTTRUSTY
- Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Vetiver
- Post Shave: Wholly Kaw - King of Oud Aftershave Splash
This smash of Mike's comes from the generous u/wyz0ne. I've only tried Mike's once before this, and I can't say I have any complaints about performance. It doesn't blow my mind or anything, but it builds easy and gets slick. I can dig it.
The Vetiver is a nice and straightforward scent. With as green a scent as it is, I love pairing it with floral stuff. KoO fits that bill well. Oud, rose, vetiver citrus, woods, and amber. It's a very nice scent and one the Mrs. enjoys regularly. Giving it a little extra boost of Vetiver was a nice pair.
The C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher is a recent addition, but much loved already. I love its look and sleek 30s lines. I couldn't bring myself to polish the patina off. I think it's wonderful how it is. It came with 3 blades. Tuesday has been the only one I've sharpened so far.
For the challenge, that Swedish high carbon steel is something else with a super unique feel. One quick and easy ATG pass was all I needed. Feeling smooth.
Very nice shave this evening.
