  • Pre-shave: Face wash w/ hot water, Lea Professional shave cream
  • Razor: Henson Mild (v1) with handle 1/4 opened
  • Blade: Lord Platinums (2nd use)
  • Brush: Yaqi Tiberwolf Synthetic 26mm
  • Soap: NSC Grapefruit
  • Passes: 1x WTG on the cheeks, 2 x WTG on the neck, 2x ATG on the cheeks
  • Post-shave: Alum, TFS witch hazel
  • Growth: 7 days (very thick & long stubble)
  • Result: BBS on the cheeks, neck acceptable

I tried using the Lea shaving cream as a pre-shave. I rubbed some on my stubble, then applied the NSC Grapefruit shaving soap. Worked okay, residual slickness was there which the soap seemed to lack but I'm still experimenting with the lather.

Enjoy your weekend, ladies and gents!
