Soap - Tabac
Post - Cold Rinse, Alum, Nivea Original Balm, The Veg
A rather strange day today. The first day was a great shave, given the time since I'd used this razor. Second day was just not a good day. Today was a mixed bag. But, the good news is the worst part of the shave was NOT the blade or razor, though they weren't perfect. The lather was the problem today. But, my morning was off a bit and I created the problem myself by rushing. The Vie Long takes a bit longer to soak than my other brushes and I know that, but I was a bit behind this morning and didn't put it in the N mug until right before getting into the shower. It probably only had about 2 minutes soak time and when I went to load the Tabac I got a horrible result. Just not enough water to pick up any soap. I did dip the brush again and get the puck a bit wet as well and managed to get something resembling a lather. And, it did produce two passes worth of something that resembled a lather.
The good news is that Tabac, even when totally abused, is slick enough to avoid any major injuries with the Kai Mild. I did, however, pick up one very minor cut on my left cheekbone when I set down too vertically. That error I blame on my fixation on the bad lather and just not paying attention. You can't place any AC blade against the face vertically. Well, you can, but you bleed. Luckily the Kai Mild was even very forgiving for that and it looked more like a bad paper cut than a razor cut.
Two passes and I called it a shave with a barely DFS. Good enough after all of that. Hopefully day four will produce something resembling order since I've messed it up two days in a row. I can only imagine how bad things could have been these past two days with a Super Pro Feather in. Yeesh!
