2023.07.10 SOTN:

  • Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

  • Brush: AKA Brushworks Amethyst Watchman with 26mm AP Shave Co G5C

  • Razor: Henson AL13(+++)

  • Blade: Treet Carbon Steel (1)

  • Lather: Wholly Kaw Amber Bomba with Stirling Frost Drops

  • Post Shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Stirling Glacial Satsuma Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry


First time using Treet blades; not sure if I'm a fan or not. Jury is still out on whether I like my (+++) or (+) Henson more. It does seem like I get a better shave with the mild, but I don't know if that is just because I've been using it for a good bit longer. Time will tell, but I'll be selling one of them eventually.

My son insisted that I hurry up, so that he could goeto sleep. Around the jawline, the shave would need some cleaning up. And the Parker isn't as smooth as the Thiers Issard.

Have a good evening!
