    As promised, it was a head and face shave session. I went with my Engels straight razor (circa early 1900's ?) for the face and neck. The Gillette Slim Adjustable was picked for my dome. I believed that I had refreshed the Engels straight the last time I used it. Man, this razor was sharp. I could have called it quits but I did my usual three passes. I did 3 passes on the dome plus pickups with the Slim Adjustable. Error-free BBS results all around was just the ticket for this session.

    I loaded the soap from the mug so I face and dome lathered. Therefore, I didn't do lather pics. Suffice it to say that this soaps produces a nice, slick lather. I never had a bad lather with this soap.

    There wasn't any alum feedback on dome, but had some stinging on the neck. I am not surprised because the Engels straight gave me a super close shave. Applied the watch hazel and the Aqua Velva Ice Blue aftershave to end this shave. I have to say this was a great combo shave. I took my time shaving both the dome and the face. It was very relaxing and quite effortless for me. Take care.

    Razor: C-Mon Special 6/8”
    Brush: Shore Shave Granite Maple Badger
    Pre-Shave: Pears Transparent Soap
    Lather: WTF Vintage Barbershop
    Aftershave: WTF Vintage Barbershop
    Additional Care:
    Omega Alum
    Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
    Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

    Wonderful straight shave this morning. Super smooth and efficient is the C-Mon straight. Easily took care of this morning's growth without any issues.

    Second use with the newly acquired badger brush’s. This time it did not hog the soap.

    The WTF soap is steadily March towards its meet up with the Edmund Fitzgerald. I estimate approximately 20 grams of soap left in the tub. The number of shaves left would be in the 10 - 14 range. Perhaps less if I want to overload the scoop.

    Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.
