Prep: Shower with Baxter’s of California face scrub and PAA cube.
Pre: PAA cube
Soap: Hampshire wool fat shaving soap
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Razor: Rockwell Model T
Blade: Astra SP
Post: Alum, Baxter’s of California Shave Tonic and Baxter’s aftershave balm.
For some reason I decided to push the Rockwell to all 3 passes on a 4 today. So in preparation I hit the scrub, cube and Hampshire soap to prepare my face for a harder shave! Boy did I need it and it wasn’t enough! Weepers, weepers everywhere but annoyingly no indication in the moment of the actual shave that I’m doing any damage to myself! It’s like a silent ninja in a bad martial arts movie, slice and dice and the victim doesn’t know their in pieces until they move and something falls off them! I exaggerate but you get the idea. Weirdly though still a very smooth shave, very close obviously and completely bbs with only a little redness. I’m going to try a Viking sword blade tomorrow and try and lower it back to 3 to tame the beast! I both love and hate the results so far and need to get to grips with the silent slasher! I’m pretty sure it’s me at the moment technique wise as this is a more aggressive razor than I’m used to.
Many thanks again @ATG.
