  I killed my Proraso Pre-shave yesterday. It’s always sad to me. It’s such a nice jar.

  Today wash my first shave with the Superslant L3++ (I have been shaving with the L3 base plate). It’s noticably more efficient. I took it slow and ended up with a comfortable shave.

  Great test shave with this Ale razor. This was my second use of Areffa Soap August Moon. This has a wonderful soap base (bear tallow) and has a subtle fragrance which opens up beautifully as you use it.

  • Brush: AP Shave Co. - Synbad 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Worcester Razor Co. Straight - 6/8 Hollow (2)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Lavender Sage - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Friends to the End - Balm
  • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille - EdP

  Decent results. The razor bit me in a weird way, though. Usually a straight will bite parallel to the edge, usually as a result of accidental movement in that direction. This bite was a shallow slice perpendicular to the blade, in the direction of travel. At first I thought maybe it was the square toe that dug in a bit, but the location doesn’t make sense… A bit of a mystery.

  Either way, happy with the shave! Closeness is good enough. The razor had a nice soft feel.

  I don’t know whether it’s me or the brush, but I’ve been less enthused with the OC boar lately. But solid lather with a good soap. The shave was not that close – maybe I should get rid of this blade.

  Have a good night!

  A nice anisic shave. The brush is new to me and performed excellently. I may raise the loft, but want to spend some more time with it as-is first.
