Proraso PS - Red
Heritage Collection - Klenzo - 26mm HMW Heritage 'Gel' Tip
Art of Shaving SC - Oud
Drew Dick 7/8 Damascus Steel - Green Kirinite
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements ASB - Star Jelly (menthol)
Art of Shaving - Oud Cologne Intense
Fragrant, awesome AoS thick and slick lather this morning, which helped the Drew Dick razor mow it down. Still a bit of irritation on the lower right neck (re-opened a weeper), but managed a 2.5 pass DFS+ all over with some very light neck buffing. Followed with unscented (but a light menthol) PAA ASB called 'Star Jelly', then AoS's Oud 'Cologne Intense'. A wifey and family favorite.
Second use of the Klenzo with the 'gel' tip. Love the handle. Great color. Feels nice in hand. But,
not the knot. Lather hog is an understatement, and face feel is 'wimpy mush'. I'll confess to being a badger newbie, but what gives? Hardly any lather in the shave bowl, nor much will transfer to face. This knot just held it and bloomed bigger and bigger. Painting on helped, but squeezing out the lather (2-3 heavy passes worth) into the bowl and hand applying worked best. Transplant thoughts abound.
Hope everyone has a Terrific Taco Tuesday!
