November 17, 2023 - Faena Friday

  • Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/AP Shave Co 24mm Titanium Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Super Speed Y4
  • Blade: My-Blades (5)
  • Lather: Faena - Taurus - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Monarch - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Thayers - Rose - Toner

The Faena soap base has its own feel. I don't think I have another soap like it. Very luxurious in its own way. I was under the impression that the Super Speed was a mild razor but my shave says otherwise. I had an ultra close shave this evening. This was DS-BBS, but I'm looking for a barely BBS level of closeness. It was comfortable, though. No nicks or irritation
