-- Friday, August 1--

Prep: hot water wash with bath soap
Razor: HTGAM Symmetry Open Comb
Blade: Super-Max Titanium (4)
Brush: Semogue Barbear Classico LE Cerda (#67/100)
Soap: Mike's Lemongrass and Eucalyptus
Scuttle: None
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant alum stick and Thayers's witch hazel



Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Absolutely wonderful shave. I've been revisiting my boar brushes lately because I have been in the two band finest badger land for so long (not a bad place to be!). It's amazing how good a boar brush can be. I think I have a very exemplary boar collection. BC LE Cerda is one of them and is an absolute joy. Just a perfect combination of all the variables to make an amazing boar brush.

This was my first outing with a brand new HTGAM Symmetry razor. As I suspected it is a clone of a RazoRock/Cadet OC head with a very nice handle. Wonderful razor as are its relations. Medium-aggressive and very smooth. Excellent value for around $30. The mustache engraving on the top plate is sweet and the handle is superb.

I pulled my old Krona out of the drawer this morning. It provides a very smooth, comfortable, non irritating shave. I believe it is the mildest razor that I own. One would need to work pretty hard to get a nick with this razor. I like it.
