The tiny tub is a sample of Meißner Tremonia’s Lavender de Luxe shaving paste, somewhat firmer than a shaving cream. Given the tub size, it seemed appropriate to use Simpson’s Wee Scot as the brush, and I had no trouble in loading the brush and working up a fine lather.
The X3 is a marvel, seen here on a UFO handle: three very easy passes to perfect baby smoothness without even a hint of a problem. As before, the razor feels on the face as though it has no blade, but the stubble nevertheless is removed efficiently and completely. It’s a wonderful razor, and is due to be available in March.
A tiny splash from the little sample of Chiseled Face Trade Winds aftershave, and I’m ready for another good week. March has traditionally come in like a lion and gone out like a lamb, but the weather here is more lamb-like than leonine.
