Just A Shave: Maggard Slant - Gillette Nacet (M) (367) - Palmolive Hand Soap Bar - SV HM Manch Wht

I decided to try the old Nacet in the Maggards Slant, because it gave me such a stunning shave the other day. I also decided to use the bar of Palmolive hand soap like a soap stick today to see what kind of lather it put out... since my test lather a while back with it went very well. Razor: Maggard Razors - Slant Blade: Gillette - Nacet (Marathon) (367) Lather: Palmolive Hand Soap - Bar Brush: Saponificio Varesino - High Mountain Manchurian White v2 26mm (2 uses) Post: Stirling - Sharp Dressed Man Balm Razor and Blade Notes - Maggard Razors - Slant ::: Gillette - Nacet (M) (367 uses): Had a successful shave with the Maggard Slant recently. So much so that I decided to try it with the Nacet that has tons of shaves on it. It was comfy enough, with the feel of hairs being cut, but I don't remember much tugging. However, the cut wasn't as close as I'd like. Maybe this head puts the blade at too much of a curve, I dunno. Decent shave, but left some patches noticeably -- via touch, if not with the eye -- in need of more work. Soap Notes - Palmolive Hand Soap - Bar: Not much of a scent here. Maybe light soapy? Scent Strength: 2/10, almost not present during shaving. Lather: The slickness was excellent from this bar soap that I used as a shave stick. good secondary slickness too. Maybe a little drying, but I'd have to retry the shave to be certain that is what it was. not a dense lather or a creamy one, but that might come with applying more soap. Worked well: slick and protective. Hydration: Perfect (for me) = 4 passes of lather Bowl: No Bowl Brush Notes - Saponificio Varesino - High Mountain Manchurian White v2 26mm (2 uses): This brush continues to be great. Easy splay and soft tips. *Shave Quality* During the Shave Feel: Cheeks: Felt blade but comfortable Neck: Felt blade but comfortable After the Shave Closeness: Cheeks: Very Close Shave Neck: Several hairs are showing some tip length (still a pretty good shave) I'm gradually adding answers to frequent questions here: http://www.sugardaddyshaves.com Wetshaving is the age-old shaving method where you create a lather from a soap or cream, usually with a brush. And these days, we also usually mean using a safety razor (aka double edge or DE) or single edge or straight razor to remove the hair. We often enjoy less irritated skin, healthier skin, more enjoyable shaves, and often closer shaves than those who use a multi-bladed cartridge and canned shaving foam.
