I stuck with the same gear, and another nice shave resulted. Details: Third Pass Shaving Co. Redline soap & warm water for cleaning/preshave. Soaked brush prior to shave and kept T&H lather (solid performance and pleasant scent) warm in my brush scuttle. New blade. Didn't need to change it, but I'm a 3 and 0ut guy. Blades are cheap, and I have plenty. Two passes (mostly WTG & then mostly ATG) plus touch ups around mouth, chin & jawline. I gotta know when to stop shaving, else I get irritation...so this is it. This is something I've learned and relearned over the past couple of years 'round here. No shortcuts.
Payday included a near BBS shave with a couple of small weepers due to operator error. My attention was divided due to some stuff going on around the house this morning. Never the best scenario for an optimal shave. Still good, though. The new Feather blade did the job as it should...constantly reminding myself to stretch the skin while watching angle and pressure.
Finished up with a warm water rinse, alum (a little tingling), another warm water rinse, witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and a generous splash of Clubman. Felt a little warmth from the Clubman, but my face is comfortable and projects a very manly sort of handsome. I'm pleased overall with the result. Time to move on.
Hope all is well, gentlemen. Have a great day!
