This RazoRock silvertip from Italian Barber has quite a large knot, but it did a fine job with Meißner Tremonia’s Woody Almond shaving paste. Their shaving paste is very nice, but it does get used up faster than their shaving soap. Still, very fine lather and wonderful fragrance: the Italian bitter-almond but with cedar.
Three passes from my 102 removed all traces of the 2-day stubble, leaving clear and undamaged skin, to which I applied a good splash of Phoenix Artisan’s Spring-Heeled Jack, a coffee-fragranced aftershave that to my nose includes some chocolate notes, though that may be an olfactory illusion.
And the beef shanks are on, with the recipe revised somewhat based on what I actually did.
