Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 26mm Chubby #2, Super Badger
Razor: 15/16" Filarmonica DT 14, Hollow, Spike Point (Pistachio scales)
Strop: 50/55 (Neil Miller linen/Premium IV leather)
Überlather: Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Creme + Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: NancyBoy Replenishing Facial Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue
Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdC
Results: A SENSATIONAL Shave today with this combination of hardware/software . Whereas the Chubby 2 made an amazing überlather out of this Acca Kappa duo, the Filarmonica was an absolute delight to use this AM. She was touched up last night on the Asagi, during the Oscars. A fabulous and moisturizing prep and after 3 effortless passes, I was pleasantly greeted to a BBS and smooth skin. I could not believe what I was witnessing in front of my eyes - 3 days of "rough" growth wiped away at the snap of a finger. All this with absolutely zero irritation or redness. Today's shave is a testament as to why Filarmonicas are so highly regarded and praised for. For those of you that own of of these beauties, congratulations . Cherish and enjoy it. For those who don't, get one. You will not regret it.
