Austere August: Day: 5

䷀ General Notes
Fine lather but irritating shave for some reason today.
䷀ Razor and Blade Notes
(Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet - M ‹503 uses›)
It could have been the brush, but I think it's more likely that the blade was too much for my skin today.
Irritation gathered as the shave went on. That just doesn't happen with me except with very aggressive razors.
Maybe the bug spray I had on my face reacted, IDK.
Razor and Blade Performance/Comfort Rating: 1 out of 5 (Poor)
䷀ Soap Notes
(Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - White Label)
I just love all the aspects of this scent!
Scent Strength: 6/10, nicely present during shaving.
Lather... Nice slurry lather again. Very slick and easy to whip up and work with.
Hydration: Perfect (for me)
Bowl: No Bowl
䷀ Brush Notes
(Zenith - r/wetshaving MOAR BOAR B35/508A XL ‹28 uses›)
I don't know if the brush have me some burn today or not. I thought it felt quite nice.
During the Shave Feel:
Cheeks: A little irritating
Neck: A little irritating
After the Shave Closeness:
Cheeks: Close Shave
Neck: Many hairs show whisker tips with a little length to them
