Woody, Proline 1
Elite Razor Beehive
ABMOGT cream and splash
Snake Bite splash
Three passes, zero issues, 180° turnaround from Monday’s bladescapade. With the Proline installed, Woody turned into a serious shave tool with determined accuracy and smooth control. Just as questions about its usefulness were creeping in to my shave brain, they’ve been dispelled. Prolines Baby!
9/10

King C Gillette three piece razor
Astra superior platinum blade (Russian)
Leponix synthetic brush
TOBS Eton College Collection shaving cream
Care One witch hazel
Canoe aftershave
Just like Polo cologne
Hot shower prep with Old Spice extra clean soap
The Leponix/ Eton College combo exploded into a mountain of lather. Two lathered passes and touchups on the problem areas yielded near BBS shave. I'm still amazed by the lack of blade flex and chatter with the King C Gillette. Canoe reminded me how high the alcohol content is in it.
