Superb Windy Wednesday
We've got high winds and near zero wind chill today, so naturally I went with B-M First Snow. The soap provided optimal lather with a fresh fir tree and leather scent. I made three easy and smooth passes with my Maggard's Slant - I've found holding the razor near the end of the handle makes it easier to reduce pressure and ride the cap. This was drama-free BBS. The aftershave has more menthol than the gentle soap, but not a face freezer by any means. The very low level and short-lived burn attested to the quality of this shave.
Prep: Myrsol Emulsion
Soap: B-M First Snow
Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
Razor: Maggard's Slant
