Another Phoenix Artisan CK-6 shaving soap, Planet Java Hive has a very nice fragrance: honey + coffee. It is pleasing, and I’m reminded of Mickey Lee Soapworks Bee Witched, only with coffee. And I do love the CK-6 lather, created this morning with my stalwart Rooney Finest.
Today the Model T was used at 4 for the first pass, 3 for second, and 2 for the final pass ATG. (I’m still trying the variations described in this Sharpologist article.) For me, this works better than the 3-4-5 sequence of yesterday’s shave. I have to admit, though, that I’m probably a “set-and-forget” guy. I do like the smooth adjustment of the Model T: it turns smoothly and firmly, with no play—like a finely fitted and precise machine.
A splash of Planet Java Hive aftershave, and the day is launched.
