This was an interesting shave because I decided to do a single hand shavette shave using my dominant hand (right) for the very first time. I would not try this with a fresh blade, but since this blade had 15 shaves on it, I figured that it would be quite forgiving. Now that I got rid of Stirling Coconut Lime, it was time to use this soap. I haven't used it in awhile and it was time to do so today. Elly's Wonder Shop soap is easy to lather and it produces a nice, creamy, slick lather. It has a light floral scent that is not obtrusive. It is made in the Ukraine, but The Razor Co. has her soap in stock, unfortunately, this one is not in their inventory.
I did 2 passes and did get a BBS - shave. Although I used my dominant hand, I found that using only one hand to shave is a little more difficult than using 2 hands, especially going with the grain on the left side of my face and against the grain on my right neck. However, I can't argue with my results. I slightly felt the alum on my neck, but I was not surprised. After the witch hazel application, I double-splashed the Veg to end this nice shave. Alas, I am stopping at 16 shaves with this hairshaper blade because I feel that it will be uncomfortable if I continued to shave with it. I am out of hairshaper blades so I have to go to Sally's Beauty Salon and pick up a box. Have a great Sunday guys!
