Brush: AP Shave Co Summer 28mm G5C
Razor: Dovo Bismarck 6/8" Full Hollow Round Point
Lather: Wholly Kaw - Cedrati - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner
Aftershave: Noble Otter - Jack - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Wonderful Sunday shave today. I love the citrus and woody notes of Cedrati and they go well with the higher key citrus notes in Jack. I have always loved the Siero base, which helped make the mechanics of this shave top-tier.
The Bismarck (Iron Chancellor) performed magnificently! It currently has a rather boutique edge (Koma nagura on Black Arkansas), but this razor performs well regardless of what stones are used to finish the edge. The razor has a 0.1337 radian sharpening angle that results in a bevel angle of 15.3 degrees. We're in (and slightly narrower than) Filarmónica bevel angle territory here. Now, I did a little work on the spine of my razor, as I did with @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social's Bismarck, but I doubt that this work changed the razor's sharpening geometry significantly. In my experience, razors that have sharpened bevel angles in the 15-16 degree range provide extraordinary shaves.
We're doing leet sharpening angles now?
No wonder this thing shaves so well 😊
I'm far too oblivious to realize that I was doing leetcode :)
