Round 1, Match 4: Wholly Kaw - King of Oud vs Captain's Choice - Venture
Shave 2: Captain's Choice - Venture
The Setup:
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Feather Stainless
Brush: Perfecto Pure Badger
Mug: Henry Cavendish
Post Shave: Witch Hazel and Cetaphil
Things are looking up! I thoroughly enjoyed my shave with Captain's Choice - Venture. Was able to load the brush with a good paste and achieved a good face lather.
You know when you wipe the lather off your lips with your finger and your hand slides all the way back to your ear that it's going to be a good shave. (That may be overstating it a little bit.) CC had plenty of residual slickness, great cushion, lathered easily, and had great post shave feel.
WTG and XTG and touchup for as close to BBS as I've ever come. At the end of the day my face still felt smooth.
Captain's Choice - Venture
Slickness: 9
Ease of Lather: 8
Post shave feel: 8
Scent strength: Medium
I honestly feel like I could have gotten more out of Wholly Kaw. I was glad that it performed well. However, I've mentioned before that I like soaps that just work and I felt that with Captain's Choice. No drama, slick as can be. Great soap for me.
Have a great week everybody. Round 2 starts tomorrow with Stirling vs Central Texas soaps!
