My beard grows pretty fast. So after a 7 day hiatus, I had a certified beard.
This morning I Lathered up with some Nancy Boy Replenishing Shaving cream. Great stuff! Then, figuring a big job required big equipment, I stropped up my Wade & Butcher 15/16 wedge.
It amazes me. You look at a full hollow ground blade and imagine that when sharp it will glide through any beard. Yet they always seem to take a bit more effort for me. I have found, I just have one of those beards that needs a bit more weight to the blade. The heavier the blade the easier it seems to glide through my beard.
Three passes with no tugging, nicks or irritation. My face was left smooth and fresh.
I followed up with a liberal splash of Lucky Tiger aftershave and face tonic. After that dried off I splashed on Irisch Moos Aftershanve and Cologne.
A truly fine shave.
Man, I love those big ol' razors!
