Originally, I was going to use my Parker Shavette again, but decided to go with my vintage Friodur. I honed it in June 2020 and this is my 23rd shave since that time so I expected it to be sharp. It definitely was sharp to say the least.
The C-Mon Brush is my second favorite in my collection and does whip up a nice lather, but it can hold onto it and consequently, make facelathering tricky.
The Bergamot Lavender scent was more robust than in the past and it showed me that it has a nice fragrance. Am I in love with it? No, but I wouldn't kick it out of the bathroom. Lol!
Did a 2.5 error-free pass for a BBS shave. Did get some feedback on my neck from the alum, but it wasn't a darn it episode. Witch hazel was applied and I followed with the Veg. The Veg complemented the soap scent very well. Because I shaved late today, tomorrow will be a no shave day for me. Have a great evening gents!
