    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    A wonderful Black WatchDay! Yesterday’s Tabac scent overwhelmed me, and Black Watch smells different to me after having used milder scent-strength soaps for so long. I’ll get over it. Black Watch comes through as spicier and less well balanced than I remember it. Still, it is a terrific scent and I look forward to many more uses of it.

    This razor has one of my September Jnat refreshes on it. There’s still an Iwasaki finishing technique that I want to experiment with for my Jnat process, but I’m very happy with results I’m getting with my current method. Sharpness and comfort from this razor were exceptional for today’s shave.

      Now I feel the urge to go smell my Black Watch to verify this outrageous claim, but I have to wait until I’m traveling back on Saturday, 😭😅

        As we Americans like to say, “I ain’t no expert!”. [To anyone with a cultural history longer than 247 years, i.e. not American, we ignore the double negative.]
