䷀ General Notes
Regular bowl lather today, but trying more of a dry load.
䷀ Razor and Blade Notes
^(Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet - M ‹550 uses›)
Same: First pass has just a little tugginess to it. But no irritation that lasts longer than a little tuggy stroke. Latter passes feel fine 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... Today was to try a dry load and working up the lather with water slowly to see if the resulting lather would be different than yesterday when lots of water was added right away. It didn't make a difference.
Still gave it enough water to end up with nice slickness, but no creaminess. This is typical for CF for me.
Hydration: Perfect (for me)
+ = 9 passes of lather
Bowl: Roger Quintero 3D Printed Bowl
I use the XL version of this bowl.
䷀ Brush Notes
^(Declaration Grooming - B13 Dogwood/Briar Hybrid 28mm ‹27 uses›)
Great as usual.
During the Shave Feel:
Cheeks: Felt blade but comfortable
Neck: Just a little tugging
After the Shave Closeness:
Cheeks: Close Shave
Neck: Several hairs are showing some tip length (still a pretty good shave)
