excellent shave despite one minor mishap.
WTG and ATG with the straight, removing around 80% of the hair and staying at close comfortable shave level. No weepers at that point from what I seen. Tidied up with a hawk that gave me couple small weepers, for DFS++ level.
Small burn from aftershave , however after that I have noticed a small cut - 1/4 of an inch near my sideburns . Not sure whether it was caused by straight or hawk - wasn’t bleeding at all, just a red line. First time since I started wet shaving I had something else than a weeper!
Brilliant scent - getting a clean lavender with bit of eucalyptus on this one. Nice and lasting scent throughout the whole shave . Aftershave definitely compliments it well. Added cella eau de lavande for a nice complimentary scent.
one thing I definitely need to improve upon is stretching of the face. Areas that I stretch properly I get much better shave results than others - oh well, it’s a learning curve!
I feel like for this shave I should have some straight with purple scales haha!
enjoy your weekend gentlemen!
