Another fantastic Lather from @BrianH Signature Soaps, today with a minty, cooling effect.
I set the razor on #3.5 and completed a very comfortable WTG pass, i left it on that setting for my XTG pass but the blade did feel a little prickly on the cheeks, therefore, i backed the razor off to #2.5 for an ATG pass and the blade felt smoother again.
A nice post shave routine with some indication on the cheeks from the splash which did not last long.
I am left with a close, comfortable, BBS finish.
I should be able to get another shave from this blade, although, i would normally only do 3 and out.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
Jay, I can honestly say, The Semogue Taj and C5 Torga are really getting some sink time because they just seem to work, they took a little breaking in and i think they can only get better, they bowl lather really well and feel great during a face lather.I have often thought about pick up a nice boar brush the only experience I have with them is the cheap Men-u brush which isn’t exactly great..if I was going to get one though this would be the one it’s the best looking one out there in my opinion
