Absolutely perfect result today. It began with the Simpson Duke 2 Best and my artisanal organic-asses’-milk shaving soap. You’ll note that the tin is filled to the very brim with soap, but lathering was neither messy nor a problem: a bit of gentle brushing with a wetter-than-damp-but-not-dripping brush, and then a pleasant time working the lather up on my beard, adding one good driblet of water to the center of the brush and working that in.
The Stealth is a Personna Lab Blue blade (for me) is close to a perfect razor. I decided to use mine this morning because we’ve had a bunch of guys finally able to buy one on ItalianBarber.com: the availability seems to be increasing somewhat, just in time for the holidays.
Three passes, no nicks, BBS result. And now that it’s winter, moisturizing aftershaves are in more demand. Krampert’s Finest Bay Rum is a moisturizing splash. It’s a “shake before each use” aftershave, and I like it a lot.
