Did my usual WTG, XTG, ATG, ATG/clean up passes, but on the last one wasn't gonna buff that much being this razor as aggressive as it is.
Didn't feell that much stubble other than on the moustache area where I definetly could not do a proper ATG pass with this blade being dull. Being that the blade came to the end on its 3rd week, it amazes me that there was no tugging or nicking but wasn't sharp to the point that wasn't efficient enough. Well, guess need to revisit the last 2 razors with a fresh blade, perhaps a Feather.
Well, no nicks, cut, creepers, weepers and almost no feedback from the alum block and that is to say soemthing being that on the last 2 days had more and used mild razors. No special ointment to apeace any irritation this time.
The lather wasn't the best either, but my experience with boars isn't much and synthetics obviously do a better job at it.
Razor, Muhle R41 head on an Ikon bulldog handle
Blade, Kroger brand, 18th and final use I think
Brush, VDH boar
Soap, LPL Cedre-Patchouli
Aftershave, Maggards' alum block, Thayer's witchhazel, Nivea AS Balm Sensitive skin
EDT, Lauder Intuition
