02/27/15 February Focus on Blades Prep – MR GLO Razor - Mongoose Satin B2 Blade – Kai Mild(4) Brush – Rubberset 400 with Omega Boar Lather – Soap Commander Passion Post - Witch Hazel and CC Bay Rum AS Great 3 pass shave for this mornings shave. Planning on finishing up with the Goose tomorrow and then using some of my different razors next month. I have really enjoyed the Goose over the past 2 months and it will continue to be one of my go to razors. Have a great weekend.
Fougere Friday I used a silvertip badger for the first time, and it's interesting. I'm used to the much bigger knot on my HIS synthetic, so that is one difference. Another is the combination of density and soft tips. I like it, but I need to use it more to really make a decision. Do silver tips bloom with use? The shave was solid and my face feels smooth. I tried Latha AS, but I don't think it matched well.

Face-lathering is incredible, but I would never be able to get away with one, two or even three passes with my coarse beard!!! I have to include quite a few touch-ups, as well! Doesn't that mean you only get to face-lather only once!!!!!!!!

Fridays shave The stealth slant took away 2 days of stubble with ease. But the Vokshod blade was a bit uncomfortable for the second shave in a row. Maybe it's just a dodgy blade. Need to experiment with the Trumpers lather too get the right slickness but I did like it.
