Good morning fellas!
Straight Shave # 240

C-Mon Heritage Collection Super HD Badger
Stirling Bay Rum SS and AS
Dickenson's Unscented WH (not pictured)
Nivea for Men ASB (not pictured)
Whiskers: 37 hours
I decided to change to my old bloom the soap method. The C-Mon is my 1A brush and I like it because of irs aesthetics and its great lathering performance. True to form, she gave me a beautiful, creamy, thick, slick lather. She still is a lather hog, but most dense knots are.
I decided to bring out the Henckel's today because it is awhile since I shaved with this beauty. It is one of my favorites and I should use it more often since it has my honed edge on it. This blade is uber sharp that I just needed to guide the blade with literally no pressure. I only needed two passes with very little pickups for a near BBS shave. Did get a weep on my mouth corner and one on my stache, but they disappeared with the cold water. Decided to hit them with the pen for good measure.
The post shave ritual was using the witch hazel, the balm and the aftershave, respectively. Since using the witchhazel, my skin is looking much better so that it will always be a part of my postshave regimen. Furthermore, my shave was so smooth that I received very little burn from the Stirling Bay Run aftershave.
This was truly an enjoyable and pleasant shave!
Have a great day guys!
