Re: SOTD August 30th - September 5th
Sunday night:
Razor: Henson DE (machined, anodized aluminum)
Blade: Treet Dura Sharp
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: Mystic Water Lime
Lather made on top of the soap
Three passes
Aftershave: Cold water rinse and Thayer's Peach Witch Hazel
This is my third shave with the Henson razor. I've used it once with the supplied Astra blade and twice with a Treet Dura Sharp. Each time gets a little better, though I still get a little more irritation than I do with my Rockwell (plate 2) and Mergress (lowest setting) razors. I made a wetter lather tonight than I did the last two times, and I think that helped.
