  2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

  Today’s shave featured two razors, each with a coticule edge, sent to me by my friend noname bear (on YouTube). Also, I used CBL Soap Doc Holiday for the second time. As with yesterday, I enjoyed the peach and huckleberry scent notes and got a hint of “sparkling aldehides”, and gun smoke with the aftershave.

  Decent straight razor shave. Felt sharp on certain passes, and not as sharp on other passes. I think what I’ll do (for science) is tape the spine (as Ulrik reportedly does) and rub this on my 10k synthetic to experience that. Depending on the results I’ll shave with it for a while longer, or send it off for a new edge!
