Start of Austere August for me, on Day 3 here. I’ll make up for it in September.
Going to keep using the Nacet, and this is shave 501 with it.
䷀ Razor and Blade Notes
(Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet - M ‹501 uses›)
A little tuggy on first pass, and it just too 4 to get the job done enough for tonight. Close result.
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… Thought I’d try the slurry lather today. So I started with a very wet brush. Loaded for 10 seconds or so, and then put that on my face. It wasn’t quite enough soap to get going, so I went back for a little more. This gave me that slurry, slick super wet layer on my face, which was pass 1.
Pass 2 started looking more like a mature lather, since it was starting to come together more.
I had plenty of lather for 5 passes using this face lathering method. How about that you overloaders?!
Since this guy is still young, the slurry lather method still translated a lot of backbone, though the tips softened it up somewhat.
During the Shave Feel: Cheeks: Just a little tugging Neck: Just a little tugging After the Shave Closeness: Cheeks: Very Close Shave Neck: Many hairs show whisker tips with a little length to them
