Way to go Spider! That was a great minimalist shave if I've ever seen one…the boys on the Cadre are going to have to up their game to beat this technique! Cheers MikeR. ( Totally agree with your analysis of the shaving soap that really counts is the bit right on your skin..the Roman's used just a bit of olive oil, so I'm told, and it was slick enough to get the job done, God knows what type of cutting tool they used..lol, certainly wasn’t a Feather ASD2.)
While I agree with you about the idea of cushion being sort of spurious, some lather does provide a benefit besides the mythical cushion and real slickness. A layer of lather keeps the right side of my face super hydrated while I start with the left. So, I dont need a thick layer, I just don't want skin showing through.
Good to see you. Have you ever tried a shaving soap with soy wax in the list of ingredients (Southern Witchcraft and Matti Lindholm use soy wax in the soap they make). It is supposed to be uber slick.
Happy to see a video from you. Hope to see another one soon.
Spider-Man returns. 👍
I hope I don’t need to start gambling on exactly how long you will extend on that setup. Nicely done

Southern Witchcrafts is one of my favorites! As yes, super slick.
