  • Brush: Prometheus Handcrafts w/ 28mm Synthetic

  • Razor: Weck Sextoblade

  • Blade: Kismet Hair Shaper (1)

  • Lather: Eleven Shaving - Lime and Basil- Soap

  • Post Shave: Eleven Shaving - Lime and Basil - Aftershave

  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime

A day of firsts. Admittedly I bought Eleven solely due to them being a sponsor this LG. I usually don't and typically encourage getting smushes instead of buying products when you're trying something new. After talking to one of the Judges, I was encouraged that the new sponsors added this year truly had good products and had been vetted. I am very plesantly surprised with the performance of the Eleven base, and I'll be honest, my expectations weren't high. Whith so many scents these days getting more and more complicated and the notes lists growing, I have an added appreciation for the simple scents. I'd say I'm typically herb note adverse when it comes to scents after smelling Ferox, but the basil with the lime works damn well. I don't think I'll be adding a ton of other Eleven soaps to my collection as I've already got enough soap, but I'm definitely pleased to have added this one.

Per the bonus challenge, this is my frist time trying a Weck. I had gotten this razor just days before last AA and didn't want to dive into committing to a whole month of weck-ing. Things went okay enough. I didn't want to start the month off with a gouged face, so I didn't try for a perfect shave just went with a good enough one. I these are nifty and I can definitely see the appeal. It certainly keeps you alert during the shave.

Cheers.
