I enjoyed that,
Today I bowl lathered the MWF with great results, lots of wonderful, thick, slick lather. Lots of cushioning for the planned "3" pass shave.
I completed my normal 2 pass shaving routine (DFS+), then completed nigh on a full pick up pass. I am calling it a BBS success today.
The Alum gave a some indication, mainly on the throat, i do not think chasing BBS with a straight is worth it, however, i do need to improve my technique, therefore i will probably continue with this routine until i am more comfortable with the pick up pass, hopefully the more i practice the Less the Alum stings.
I also tried out my Cedarwood and Patchouli post shave and its quite nice. When the Brut Original AS went on it did light up the throat again, not for long though.
All in all a happy shaver today.
Stay Safe and enjoy your day All.
