First: the lather was superb, as always with these Special Edition soaps. The problem was the razor/blade. I think it may be that I’m simply out of practice using the Tradere Solid Bar, which at one time was quite a comfortable razor for me. Not today: several minor nicks and a bit of burn on the upper lip. I swapped out the blade at the end of the shave and decided to use this razor more frequently, particularly in the coming week, to see whether I can recapture the excellence.
A good splash of Saint Charles Shave Avocado balm—it’s been quite parky outdoors—and I’m ready to roll.
