After I guess 1 and a half months of horses, it was time to use a swine. The Zenith is very soft and nice, and the handle by whosgotthepudding is beautiful, and a pleasure to use. I very much like the spearhead base, even though I 'm not the biggest fan of the scent. I’m getting into the zone where using the straight feels more and more effortless - even though it forces a level of concentration beyond what’s necessary with a DE or GEM razor (or even an AC shavette). |
Have a good night!

Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser & Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Brush: AKA Brushworks Amethyst Watchman with 26mm AP Shave Co G5C
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium Extra Stainless (3)
Lather: Hoffman’s Cookie Monster

/u/Priusaurus kindly sent over a smush of Cookie Monster. This is my first time using Hoffman’s. I’d say the quality of the lather was good, and the scent was quite nice. I got more of a hot chocolate impression than cookies, but it was still nice. I see this being a good cold weather scent.
Good shave today. 3 passes. No issues at all.
