I decided to do one more shave with the Hawk open comb. Blade is getting dull after 6 shaves and nicked me at corner of my mouth but, it stopped leaking on it's own. I had to work a bit harder to get the neck area below the jawline so, I got some feedback from the alum bar. I am binning this blade at 6 shaves. I will finish the month with another adjustable I have. I don't use this adjustable much because I like short handle and it is a long one. Heavy razor too. Vikings Blade "The Emperor". I can finish a Feather "Hi Stainless" blade at the same time. Blade now has 2 shaves on it.
But for today, it's the Hawk v3 open comb. It delivered a nice shave but, the blade is getting dull.
Razor - Hawk v3 open comb
Blade - Feather Professional (6th shave & binned)
Pre-shave - TOBS Herbal Gel
Soap - Santa Maria Del Fiore "Firenze" Sapone da Barba
Brush - Simpson T3 Trafalgar
Post shave - Thayers Toner with Witch Hazel & Aloe
AS - Pinaud Clubman "Virgin Island Bay Rum"
This soap has an odd smell to my nose. Almost a chemical smell. Lathers easy enuff and is slick enuff but, the smell is different to my nose. I didn't have to add any more water after I shook out the brush. I did have to whisk at it a bit longer too. I did tend to fling the lather around the bathroom while applying. LOL Pleasant 2-pass shave WTG & ATG with cleanup on my neck/jawline so, alum gave me a report that I did too many passes on neck! One weeper that stopped on it's own. I could feel it when it bit me! Corner of my mouth. Still not a bad shave. I have the open comb dialed in!
