3 passes, WTG, XTG ear to nose and XTG nose to ear.

I'm trying out different blades at the moment, so I'm using the Tech as it is highly effective but also quite mild. Quite pleased with the Voshkhod, very mild and forgiving, which is why I was tempted into 3 passes and a touch up pass. No cuts but I shouldn't have done the touch up; I ended up with a small patch of razor burn on my jaw. I went off TOBS a while ago, but I've got a full bowl so I need to use it! This is the set up I going to continue with while I'm testing blades.
 
I forgot what a blade felt like on my skin.

There's a special bit of enjoyment I have with this RazoRock Plissoft brush. Seeing this profile in mass production always reminds me of the birth of the Elite7 design that Bob Quinn of Elite Razors & I worked on over 3 years ago. Yes, it's a simple tweak to the Simpson's M7, but I really love these proportions and especially the double ring.

Getting back to the AlumiGoose was nice, but it's been awhile since I've felt that much blade on my face. There's something great about a mild & efficient razor like the OneBlade. That said, the Mongoose will take no prisoners when engaged in stubble warfare.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I have to say I'm enjoying both the Hone and the Hantverk bowl ( the soap is so-so, could have a bit more fragrance for my taste, but lathers well enough) - the bowl fits perfectly in the hand and doesn't slip, it also feels warm to the touch. Very weird as its concrete.
