2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a test shave for the freshly honed edge on this razor. The comfortable Jnat edge, and the wonderful scent of Contraband Bay Rum made for a very enjoyable shave.

Sample kill. I don't think I'll get Gingerbread Man again. It's not bad. It's one dimensional and the scent is pretty light.
Airbud is protecting me from LatherBot brutality today.

- Brush: Maggard Razors - Tuxedo 24mm Synthetic
- Razor: Worcester Razor Co. Straight - 6/8 Hollow (3)
- Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Down at the River - Soap
- Post Shave: MW - Bay Rum - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum
Decent shave! Less irritation than yesterday -- either because of my technique, the lather, or both! What am I saying, isn't it all technique?
This aftershave was sent to me by a good friend who I've converted to wetshaving. He made this Bay Rum using Rum, uh... Bay, and some other stuff. It's very smooth and honestly smells great. A lot of the Bay Rum's that I've smelled are sharp with the spiciness, and this one leans heavily into the actual Rum scent. Quite pleasing!

After a long mild spell here we had a pretty big snow, so I decided to get out some more of my winter themed stuff again.
