July 18, 2024 Thursday shave

Razor: Lambda Athena, bronze

Soap: Razorock XXX
Brush: AP Shave Co. 24mm G5A
Bowl: Captain's Choice copper
Post shave: Omega alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel

This shave followed a grueling morning of hard and hot work. A cold water shave was certainly in order!
The Athena worked in conjunction with the Perma-Sharp blade to yield a terrific, BBS shave. Awesome!

Comments
This is the second shave with the Henson SL13 razor and Wizamet blade. Usually, this razor gives me a smooth shave. However, today the shave was close but not as smooth as I like. Perhaps it is the blade. The brush that was in my rotation today was a SOC boar. However, there is so little soap left that I went with a smaller brush: the Omega Hi synthetic. This was the 67th and final shave with the Haslinger soap. The tiny bit of soap that remains will go in my remnant jar. Have a good day and weekend, folks.
