Pre: hot shower
Soap: Reef point soaps espresso / Palmolive shaving cream
Brush: omega 49 boar
Razor: Gillette tech
Blade: Astra sp #1
Post : brut aftershave, nivea sensitive skin balm
good shave - first time trying out the Gillette tech - I like how it performs , found it to be really mild, would be quite comfortable with only two passes using this one. Although one caveat - I found it to be tugging a bit - might it be that the Astra sp blade is too mild for it? Unsure really since it’s pretty much the same standard routine as usual for me.
Soap was okay however even with bigger loading, I found the lather to die out quite quickly , seemed like there was enough for 3 passes, but it died out on a brush and barely was enough for second pass. Used Palmolive shaving cream and actually enjoyed its slickness much more than this of a soap.
one more shave on Sunday and then newbie box will be off to next person - soon it’ll be time to dig into my growing collection of soaps
