Saturday's shave:
2018 shave #141 (DE:26 SE:44 Str:68 Cart:2)
Weck w/ Personna (6)
Shannon's Soaps Haymarket Vetiver
RasoRock Plissoft 24mm
Witch Hazel & Alum
Nivea post shave balm
Avon Everest
So I did try to go back to the Weck. It started ok. The first strokes were smooth again. The neck wasn't totally smooth, but better than with the straights. But, I could also feel my neck getting a bit sore, so I again bailed for the 3rd pass on the neck and went with a DE. I thought I did okay on the cheeks and was concentrating on light pressure. My whole face lit up with the alum. Entering in my shave I see that I'm at shave #6 for this blade, so maybe that's part of it. Left was a DFS and a pretty sore neck.
I'm liking the lathering of Shannon's
Soaps and curious that I haven't seen them being used because I think they are pretty good. I got a bunch of her sample's, but unfortunately out of the bag they were sent in, the all smell the same. So I really don't know what I'm getting into with each one. This one was supposed to have citrus notes, but all I got was green prickly weeds and maybe some dry grass. Must be meant for Chad. The Everest seemed to dry down to a similar smell to me, so not what I was hoping for, but it would have paired well. If these were wines, they would call these scent notes, herbaceous.
