DEBRIEF

DFS. Not to be overly effusive, but I'm just loving the lather from this Prairie Creations stuff. Granted, it still qualifies as the honeymoon phase, and I am adding glycerin each time, but it is NICE! In terms of technique, cleaning around my goatee/thin beard thing still needs work, and the hollows of my neck are a puzzle I'm not sure if I care to solve.

Have a great day, gents. May your blades always be keen and your lather whiter than seafoam.

Prep face wash L'Occitane cedarwood soap

Strop Kanayama cordovan #8000

This razor as always been one of the smoothest of shavers, two pass shave ultra smooth finish.

Informational:
I received the soaps as no cost samples to try them out. You will see this one for a few days as I try it with different shave equipment. I am trying the no scent one to assure my nose is not leading me in a wrong direction. The soaps are made in the USA. Today...the soap has promise!
