Friday, April 9, 2021

After an amazing first shave with the Gillette New Long comb, I went back to my Henson Ti (Med) with a Nacet loaded (shave 3). I preloaded with some Stirling Glacial Post Shave Balm, put on some Pancho Sanchez and had a luxurious shave.

I used a Maseto Synth Badger brush. I found this one on eBay a few months back and had to have it. The brush is good, not great, but I really like the design of the beehive. I do have to say, with the scritch and slight stiffness, this is so much more badger-like than many others self proclaimed synth-badgers I've tried.

The soap is actually a tube of Proraso Red dried out and formed into a Proraso green travel tub. I got the idea from TobyC (Thanks again).

In the end it was another 3 pass, easy shave with very little cleanup needed. Time to conquer the weekend.

Have a great evening DFS!
