Good evening guys!
Shavette Shave #135
Dovo Shavette
Personna Hairshaper Blade (1)
Stirling Bay Rum SS and AS
C-Mon Heritage Collection Super HD Badger Brush
Nivea ASB.
I was going to wait until tomorrow morning, but I wanted to shave this evening.
I know that I have sung the praises of this brush, but it produces a fantastic lather without putting too much effort. She is soft with some backbone, but it splays very easily. It is just the right size at 26 mm for my face and I do not believe I need to go larger. The Personna hairshaper blade is almost as long as a traditional straight and is very, very sharp. It is the reason why I prefer this blade over the standard 1/2 DE blade. With that said, I usually get a weeper or two on a fresh Personna blade. Unfortunately, I got a few weeps, but nothing serious. I wouldn't recommend using these blades to an inexperienced shavette shaver because you can easily need bandaids or worse. Despite the weeps, I did get an IBSS++ without irritation. I didn't want to go with the 1/2 pass to get a full BBS because it is not worth chasing with this new blade. The shave was so close to BBS and I didn't want to add to the minute blood loss. Applied the Stirling aftershave and boy does it smell good. The burn was awesome. Finished with the soothing Nivea Balm. I just love shaving. Sadly, my shaves are so close that I don't need to shave every 24 hrs. Before wetshaving, I had to shave every day. I am stumped as to why it is. Anyway, I think that I should stop my chit-chat. Have a great evening, fellas!
