Using the phone’s camera, instead of my fogged up mirror to shave.
䷀ Razor and Blade Notes
(Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet - M ‹540 uses›)
A little tuggy on first pass, since I skipped a day of shaving. But fine after that.
Razor and Blade Performance/Comfort Rating: 2 out of 5 (Okay)
䷀ Soap Notes
(Wholly Kaw Vegan - 1776)
Them: “a summer blend perfect for saluting the Fourth of July. It is a refreshing green aroma with notes of osmanthus, benzoin, labdanum, grapefruit, artemisia, tarragon, patchouli, musk, tonka bean, cedarwood.”
Me: I did a blind shave with it first, not knowing the notes. I just know that i really enjoyed it.
Scent Strength: 4/10, present during shaving.
Lather… Likely my final verification that the WK Vegan base is very compatible with the slurry lather method.
Nice, sloppy slick slurry for passes 1 & 2. 3rd is still highly wet, but was still super slick.
Hydration: Perfect (for me)
= 3 passes of lather
Bowl: No Bowl
䷀ Brush Notes
(Semogue - Owner’s Club Boar - Shedder ‹21 uses›)
The SOC is a great brush, espeically for the slurry lather method. This one has had a year of uses by someone else, but is not nearly as split as mine that has many less uses, but has been treated with the hair dryer.
During the Shave Feel: Cheeks: Just a little tugging Neck: Just a little tugging After the Shave Closeness: Cheeks: Close Shave Neck: Several hairs are showing some tip length (still a pretty good shave)

Yeah, THAT is why the marathon blade felt tuggy 😊
Always impressive to see that blade come back for one more shave!
