Week of November 28 SOTD - Saturday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower |
Razor: 6/8" Hanamasa Kamisori, Spike Point (Yasuki steel) |
Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger |
Überlather: Al Raz' "Bay/Vetiver" Shave creme (thanks Glenn ):bow |
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) |
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer |
Cologne: Creed Tabarome Millésime |
Result: Glenn (aka, Sharp) sent me a sample of his new custom "Bay/Vetiver" da Bomb creme by Al Raz. Terrific scent. Thank you Glenn:rock:. Of course, I don't need to spell out what kind of lather this thing produces as most of you already know...But, if you happen to still be in the minority, get off your high chair and order yourself a Bomb and see what you've been missing. For openers, I got a FANTASTIC überlather to prep the beard for the Kamisori. And the blade performed marvelously. The tip is by far the "meanest" spike in my collection and takes no prisoners. And the edge on this beauty is as sharp as you can get. I avoided nicking myself this time, but still getting used to the form with this blade. It certainly is not for the faint of heart and requires total Zen to achieve nirvana. I got a close to BBS shave, but not quite (better than last time I used this Hanamasa). So, progress seems to be moving in the right direction...A few more rounds and this blade would be mastered like the other straights in my collection. Trumper's moisturizer and Creed Tabarome provided a marvelous closure for this wonderful shave:y. |
