Fragrance: Saponificio Varesino - 70th Anniversary - Eau de Parfum
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I’m sure that it will take more than 10 shaves to finish this tub, so I’ll have to continue after AA.
Today’s shave was one of those where I tinkered. I had the idea to see how light a touch I could keep; shaving my easy spots at my typical low angle, but raising the angle somewhat for the difficult spots. Worked like a champ! Why did I do this? Well, my thought was that in the easy areas, the stubble grows (mostly) straight out of the skin leaning slightly in the WTG direction, but in the difficult areas, my thought was that the stubble grows more at an angle from the skin, and not always in the same direction. For these trouble areas, the higher angle provides the same cutting relationship (blade to stubble) as the low angle does for the easy areas. So, yeah, I went full shaving nerd today.
Great edge, btw. I’m on good terms with the sharpener.
