- Brush: Alpha Outlaw 28mm G5 knot
- Razor: Rex Konsul Slant Adjustable
- Blade: Gillette - 7 o' clock green [1]
- Lather: Ethos Lavender Supreme (F base)
- Post Shave: Ethos Lisse Collection Lavender Supreme Skin Food Lotion
- Post Shave: CB Melange à Lavande AS splash
After a few weeks with lightweight aluminum razors, I felt like trying again a heavyweight like the Konsul. 3-pass shave on a 2-days growth. I used settings 3-3-1, where the second pass was still at 3 instead of my usual 2 because I had forgotten that I was using an adjustable, and was still having a perfectly fine performance.
First time trying the 7 o' clock on the Konsul, the combo worked very satisfactorily.
Also, my first shave with Ethos F base: I hydrated it as much as possible, getting a perfect glide. Nice simple Lavender scent. Postshave feeling is good, but I'd say a notch below the Murphy and MacNeil Kodiak base I had used on my previous shave, two days ago (I was traveling and did not post a SOTD).
I used both the pairing Skin Food Lotion and, after a few minutes, Catie's Bubbles Melange à Lavande AS splash just because I wanted a boost of a more complex lavender scent, as well as a bit more of an alcohol kick.
Have a great Wednesday!
