I wanted to try the Queen Charlotte Soaps Vetiver again after the somewhat disappointing performance with my Omega boar brush, so today I used a badger brush, Mr Pomp. And indeed I did get a noticeably better lather. It may be that I loaded the brush better or that I find it easier to use this soap with badger than with boar.
My iKon Slant with a Personna Lab Blue blade did a terrific job. I did get two nicks: one was on my lower lip, and I got it as soon as I set the razor on my skin there—bad angle, obviously. Another was a small one from XTG on my upper lip. My Nik Is Sealed efficiently took care of both.
A splash of Stirling’s Vetiver aftershave, a witch hazel and aloe vera formula, and the week begins.
