The process-
Late morning shave today, you know it. Kept most everything the same, but I changed out the soap and added the WH. I picked up the sample from @cmh737 and it is nice. I love a straight up Patchouli and will be adding one to the rotation. Broke out the copper bowl and got after it. The soap lathered up quickly and smelled great. Had it a bit wet and bubbly at first but the lather settled down and kept building.
Hit the Henckel with another 40 laps on leather and it was go time. I went with a three pass shave of WTG, XTG and ATG and I have no drama to report. The shave felt kinda strange in that the razor kept trying to stick to my skin. Not sure if my angle was a bit too shallow or my lather needed a bit more water. Regardless the shave was very nice and oh yeah, I am BBS for the win! Man this razor shaves great!
Wrapped everything up with a splash of water and a quick towel dry. A splash of the WH, then a splash of the ASB and everything was right as rain! I may have mentioned that I originally may have gone too heavy on the WH. It left me feeling kinda sticky. I have reduced it and it works a lot better. I also like the nice, light scent of the Nivia, it works well.
Home front-
Just light work around the house today and packing for my business trip. Life is good!
