Let’s see if the 1 swirl load was a fluke. Well, it wasn’t.
䷀ Razor and Blade Notes
(Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet - M ‹514 uses›)
Same: First pass has some tugginess to it. But no irritation that lasts longer than a little tuggy stroke. Latter passes feel fine and give a reasonably close shave. 3 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… Ha ha! Today we continue with a slurry lather, and we again confirm that with this soap, having used it over and over, it’s retaining enough moisture that one swirl with the boar brush is enough to give me a, in this case, four pass shave. And good lather too. Slick and ultra wet.
This time I just did three passes, and didn’t even have to extract the lather from the brush to get the last pass done.
Same: Comfortable soft tips that do flex some, but that are supported by a base with strong backbone. As with all young boars, I look forward to the tips splitting with more uses and getting softer with use.
During the Shave Feel: Cheeks: Felt blade but comfortable Neck: Felt blade but comfortable After the Shave Closeness: Cheeks: Close Shave Neck: Several hairs are showing some tip length (still a pretty good shave)
