One of those perfect shaves today, always enjoyable.
I used my Simpson Emperor 2 in Super Badger. I have the Emperor 3, but felt it was large for this little puck. Lather talk later, skipping to the shave.
My short-handled Gillette Super Adjustable is really a nice little razor, a trifle head heavy compared to the long-handled version, but withal quite nice. With a Kai blade and 3 passes, I achieved the acme of shaving perfection, with nary a nick.
A good splash of Alpa 378 finished the shave. The bottle was selected today in part because it fits the scale of the photo (small puck, small aftershave), but I also enjoy that aftershave in its own right, and the hit of menthol helped the Frost Rose theme.
Very nice. I do find that spending 3 shaves/week on the same soap has a noticeable impact on variety. I have a stack of shaving soaps and creams sort of backed up: I want to use them but have to wait for my chance. And yes, I do know that some use the same shaving soap/cream day in and day out, week after week, month after month. I’m not that guy.
