Great shave. Love this scent and the soap base works so well.

2023.07.13 SOTN:
Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser
Brush: AKA Brushworks Amethyst Watchman with 26mm AP Shave Co G5C
Razor: Henson AL13(+++)
Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum (1)
Lather: Stirling Glacial Satsuma
Post Shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Stirling Glacial Satsuma Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry
A nice result in the end, but honestly not the most comfortable shave I've had (didn't help that I nicked a scab :/ ). I think I'll go back to my (+) Henson on my next shave with my trusty Perma-Sharp blades to compare against my past several (+++) shaves.
