Third Time's the Charm?

  • Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm × 57 mm boar)
  • Razor: Razorock Hawk V3 (standard plate)
  • Blade: Feather Professional
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. AG 1889
  • Aftershave: Chicago Grooming Co. AG 1889
  • Fragrance: Creed Wind Flowers

I decided to give AG 1889 another chance after burning me the first to times, because I really enjoy this scent. I've started a moisturiser routine in the evening a while back, and I was wondering whether it would impact my sensitivity to the fragrance oils in AG 1889.

The answer is "a little". I didn't feel a tingling until the third pass.

Tingling aside, great shave with Wally's super intuitive Hawk and the Darkwing base.

Did you try to bowl lather? That cuts irritation for me quite considerably...

I haven't.

I've stopped bowl lathering (except for smushes and samples) a couple years ago because I enjoy face lathering more.
