    Default Work Bench Shave

    Pre: Orange Blossom Water
    SS: Williams'
    Razor: Dovo Inox.
    After: Witchhazel + Orange Blossom Water

    Delicious! The Dovo needed a touch up, so I dug out a natural combo BBW/Coticule and leveled + beveled it. Sooooo smooth. My razor felt good to my thumb and popped arm hair. But my beard was OBLITERATED! My WTG was so on point, it took out 99.9% of my XTG stubble! All in all, it was an ultra-close and ultra comfy shave.

    Cheers!
