Good morning guys!
Straight Razor Shave # 211
J A Henckels 7/8 Full Hollow Sq Pt
MrEE Synthetic Knot
Stirling Christmas Eve SS and AS
I am dedicating this above-the-shoulder shave to
@MrEE Evan and
@Primotenore Maestro.
I am using Evan's brush for the first time and he asked about Stirling Christmas Eve. Maestro asked if I used a straight to do a headshave. Again gentlemen, this shave is for you.
This is the first time that I used a brush with a metal handle and it really felt good in my hand. Evan's brush has nice backbone and it really does a great job lathering the face. Christmas Eve scent is awesome and it really puts me in a nice mood. With 41 hrs of bristle growth 2.5 passes on the face gave me BBS- shave. Did hit a bump on my chin, but no biggie.
On to the headshave, it's been awhile since I did a straight shave on the dome. Did 2 passes and got an IBSS+. I usually do 3 passes with the last one ATG. However, I wanted a BBS shave and decided to forego finishing with a straight and used my Schick E3 to finish. Fortunately, I didn't cut myself on the dome. Splashed the awesome juice on my head and face to finish the shave. So there you have it Maestro, a headshave with a straight by yours truly! The Evan brush is a great performer, so I thank you Evan! Have a great Sunday, guys!
