What’s - in your humble opinion - the best unscented shaving soap for sensitive skin? Figured I could try one without perfume for my head.
Not sure, but I can send you a barely used tub of unscented milksteak if you want to try it (only scooped). I can’t imagine myself ever using it up.
I never used unscented soap before, but I can imagine that it might be a tad bit milder to problematic skin. So I’d gladly take up your offer - anything to assist me to continue wetshaving is a great help!
I have some used Southern Witchcrafts Incorporeal. Tub loaded if that bothers you. Where are you located, I could send it to you. SW is one of my favorite bases.
Thanks for the offer, but I’m in Germany. The cost of sending it to me would be awful for you. But SW base is definitely one of my favs too.
You got it👍
I aquired two stones from a Chinese stone brand, Proyan, a 1k and a 6k. I heard good things about the brand, so I wanted to give it a try. Now, I just spent half an hour on the 1k, and both djundjila’s Styropor beans and a cherry tomato are completely unimpressed by the edge. I am wondering if I suck completely at honing, or whether maybe the stone does not have the granulometry it is supposed to have.
The stone feels very smooth to the touch (but that may be because my fingers spend too much time honing). I only have a Shapton 12k and the other Proyan to compare (which feels less smooth IMO). How should a 1k synthetic stone feel? Or how could I find out whether it is indeed a 1k or not?
