Today's shave was with another newish razor. I had a very smooth, but sensitive 2 pass shave, due to the Yeti Snot. That stuff makes me feel every frozen hair on my face. I ended up with a near BBS shave. It's been a while since the Yeti snot was used, and I was tearing up, the entire shave. Coooold, but very slick stuff. Razor- J.A.Henckels, "Friodur 451" Twin Werks, Solingen Germany. Brush- Stirling Boar Soap- Yeti Snot Aftershave- Avon "Island Lime". Straight Eight Decanter.

The Plisson dry onto bloomed test depth made very nice lather. Three passes with the executive, the gold seemed very nice (having not used a gold tone razor in a while), left me smooth and comfy. Finished with the matching aftershave balm. Nice shave, Hope y'all did as well, or better.
