Darwin 'Drake Certified' 2 band badger
MaxiFli Gold 6/8
Super fun bowl lather with the Darwin 2 band badger, a
@Keithmax enablement. This knot has a great face feel whether painting or building lather on skin. Owl snot slick citrus lather goodness from the CK-6 PAA formula this morning. 3 full passes with the Maxfli Gold today, WTG, XTG followed by an opposite XTG pass, BBS results, no crimson shed on a near 60 hour growth. I'm not one to usually go that long, but a long hot weekend and then a semi recovery day on Monday.....just didn't feel up to an open edge shave yesterday, didn't want to shave with a safety razor. Even though the indulgence session this morning got the BBS, I'd much rather shave growth off every 24-36 hours....a sharp open edge (and TTT) gets the job done much more comfortably for me rather than shaving off my 48-60 hour stumps. The Maxfli was hair poppin' sharp after a CrOx and leather stropping session, but still required some 'forced momentum' during the first pass, as it's a relatively light razor and thin grind. Second and third pass the usual 'buttering bread' sounds and smooth shave feel. Finished with my usual slightly mentholated PAA 'Star Jelly' after shave balm followed by a healthy dose of PAA's Future Fiction, a wifey super favorite.
