Today’s shave was extremely good. I brought out the Fitjar Såpekokeri shaving soap, which I’ve not used in a while, and I was delighted once more by the lather. The Wet Shaving Products Baroness is a terrific shaving brush—and in fact, I think I’ll make this a WSP week.
I put the bakelite slant head (holding the same Astra Keramik Platinum blade I’ve used for a few shaves) on a Mühle Sophist ceramic handle. It looks good, I think—though the whites could be better matched—and it shaved fine, but I discovered that I really preferred the bakelite slant’s own handle: shorter and lighter.
Three passes, a good splash of Specik, and I’m good to go.
