It's been a full week since my last shave, and man I was looking forward to this.
I usually pull out a wedge for shaves like this, but then remembered the Vost.
I knew it was more than up to the task. It was a gift from Oz at the Sydney meet-up last year and still holds the wicked edge he put on it.
I took my sweet time, and went for the full 3 slow passes.
This has to go down as one of my most satisfying shaves of all time.
Great way to start the SOTD week.
