Just A Shave: RR Game Changer .84 - Gillette 7 o'clock (Blk) - 345 General Patton - Zenith MOAR BOAR

Liked the soap, and this time I wanted to use it knowing the scent notes, and to mention the charity the company supports, etc. Turns out I havn't used the Game Changer wtih too many blades after all.... so here's one. Razor: Razorock - Game Changer .84 (Medium) Blade: Gillette - 7 o'clock (Black) Super Platinum (11) Lather: 345 Soap Co - General Patton Brush: Zenith - r/wetshaving MOAR BOAR B35/508A XL (6 uses) Post: House of Mammoth - Embrace Razor and Blade Notes - Razorock - Game Changer .84 (Medium) ::: Gillette - 7 o'clock (Blk) (11 uses): Very good combo today. Close cut, and comfy too. No irritation. Razor and Blade Performance/Comfort Rating: 4 out of 5 (Very Good) Soap Notes - 345 Soap Co - General Patton: Them: "In what seems like a lifetime ago, I was in the 82nd Airborne. So we wanted to do something special for the August soap, General Patton. Our namesake. A long time ago my late grandfather said that somewhere down the line uncle George and I were related. One day I'll make that lineage. We will be donating 10% of all General Patton sales in August to them." Scent notes: Tonka bean, amber, powder, guaiac wood, cedar, sandalwood, dash of vanilla. "This is a warm, complex scent. A scent of Victory!" 345 also says, "We wanted to give back to those that have served our great nation, and the charity ‘Mission 22’ would be a great place to start. Their mission is to help all veterans with suicide prevention, and any mental health help that they need." Scent: My first use of this one was a blind one, and I picked up the amber and tonka type scent, and woodiness. I also thought I got some leather, but I guess it was something else. I can see how there was a touch of vanilla in there, but it wasn't much, and didn't feel food-like at all. Just right. An at-home kind of warmth, and manliness, is the vibe I got from this soap. I enjoyed it a lot. Lather: Whipped up an enjoyable lather, though once it got on my face, I realized I needed more water. But it worked out. This lather gets a little slow and draggy if not enough water is in it. Almost like a thermometer! Hydration: A Little Too Dry (for me) 20 sec load with a Lightly-Wet brush 3.7 tsp added to make lather = 6 passes of lather Bowl: Roger Quintero 3D Printed Bowl I use the XL version of this bowl. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:339... Brush Notes - Zenith - r/wetshaving MOAR BOAR B35/508A XL (6 uses): Brush is definitely not killing lather any more. Maybe even the time before this. Pretty normal load time. Felt fairly comfy,but of course the backbone is still there. One hair dryer treatment between previous use (right after that shave) and this use. And one done right after this shave too. *Shave Quality* During the Shave Feel: Cheeks: Felt blade but comfortable Neck: Felt blade but comfortable After the Shave Closeness: Cheeks: Near BBS - About as close as I'll ever get Neck: Few hairs are showing some tip length (with most being cut flush) I'm gradually adding answers to frequent questions here: http://www.sugardaddyshaves.com Wetshaving is the age-old shaving method where you create a lather from a soap or cream, usually with a brush. And these days, we also usually mean using a safety razor (aka double edge or DE) or single edge or straight razor to remove the hair. We often enjoy less irritated skin, healthier skin, more enjoyable shaves, and often closer shaves than those who use a multi-bladed cartridge and canned shaving foam.
