An extremely good shave once more—Astra Superior Platinum blade.
But to begin at the beginning: For a change of pace, I wet the Thâter’s knot well before the shower, and when I lathered, I did find that the brush was a bit softer. Not sure whether I like the effect or not: more experimentation required.
I got an excellent lather for the first two passes, but it faded in the third, for reasons that are unclear to me. This did not happen with the other brushes, so it may be that I simply failed to load the (somewhat softer (because of soaking)) brush adequately. But the lather was quite good for shaving.
The Gillette President, which has been replated in rhodium, is a very nice razor indeed, and the three passes were comfortable and trouble-free.
A good splash of Creed’s Green Irish Tweed and I’m off the ophthalmologist for a little laser surger to remove a scar on my right eye (now my good eye). It’s an office procedure and I don’t even need a driver, so no biggie.
