Post Shave: Saponificio Varesino - 70th Anniversary - Aftershave
Post Shave: Thayers - Lavender - Toner
Fragrance: Saponificio Varesino - 70th Anniversary - Eau de Parfum
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Except for the brush, this is the same setup that I used yesterday. Another great shave.
I approach straight razor shaving in the same way I approach meditation; as an opportunity to be mindful. Both activities involve technique that changes over time, and where mastery is unimportant. It’s just a practice. Of course you can think about shaving this way regardless of what gear you use, but if you are a wetshaving hobbyist and appreciate the technique of manipulating an edge in addition to other aspects, you should get into straight razor shaving.
