I brought out the heavy-hitters and they delivered. RazoRock’s 400 synthetic seems to have bristles about as fine as yesterday’s Yaqi, and the lather it made from Phoenix Artisan’s Cavendish soap was thick, creamy, and fragrant with the smell of pipe tobacco (vs. a cigar fragrance). This is — as you see — the CK-6 formula, and I believe that accounts for some of the perfection of the shave — not simply during the shave, but also the post-shave skin-feel.
Three passes with my Baby Smooth left my face perfectly smooth with never a hint of a problem, and then a good splash of Cavendish aftershave will carry me through the day. This is an aftershave with legs.
