Lather: WestMan Shaving - Alma - Soap

Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

Aftershave: WestMan Shaving - Alma - Aftershave Balm
2 passes. Face lather. Average shave.
The WestMan products are great. I really like the soap base and scent on Alma, and I have the previous soap base. The Facharbeit, on the other hand, appears to need a refresh. I really did not like the feel of the edge today.

- Razor: Dovo 41 Inox
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Haverford
- Aftershave: Declaration Grooming Opulence
- Fragrance: Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

Not the most inspired fragrance combination, but I was in the mood for a known quantity.
The Inox Dovo is a great workhorse.

Second shave with the Game Changer. It does have more blade feel than I prefer, but I can’t argue with the closeness of the shave. I won’t be running out and buying one after I send it to the next stop on the passaround, but I’d be curious to try the .68. Both have positive blade exposure though, which I usually don’t like.
I haven’t used Milksteak in a long time, but was digging through my samples and picked out La Petite Prairie. A great scent, for sure.
