A request shave. I didn’t have the brush requested (a Savile Row) so I picked the big, soft Omega silvertip shown. The shaving cream is pretty dried out, and in fact I had a little difficulty in getting a good lather going—I’ve become so accustomed to shaving soaps may be some of it, but I think I should hydrate the cream a little.
The Feather AS-D2 with (of course) a Feather blade did a very nice job: 3 passes to a very smooth outcome.
Bay rum seems to go with coconut in my mind, so I picked Krampert’s Finest, which I think really is my favorite. It’s a shake-before-each-use bay rum, and a good splash of that finished the shave in fine style.
Here’s an interesting article on shaving.
