2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

Seaforth! Spiced is my second favorite Spearhead scent, Black Watch is my favorite. I have SSL and Heather as well. To be able to use Black Watch (yesterday) followed by Spiced makes for some pretty nice shaving.

  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Presto Shaving Soap
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable H3 (1962, 3rd Quarter)
  • Blade: Lord Super Chrome (1)
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Post Shave Balm - Sensitive

A few weeks ago I got samples of B&M's two new seasonal soaps (Adagio and Presto). I liked both but ended up buying a full tub of Adagio and the matching balm. I definitely like Adagio, but after continued use of my Presto sample I'm finding myself wishing I had gone with that instead.

  • Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

  • Brush: AKA Brushworks Amethyst Watchman with 26mm AP Shave Co G5C

  • Razor: Henson AL13(+++)

  • Lather: Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime

  • Post Shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry


Man, not a good shave at all today. I think Personna blades are just a flat out no for me, regardless of the razor. Still on the fence on if I prefer the aggressive or mild Henson.
