Just A Shave: Gillette NEW Short Comb - Astra Platinum (Etchd) (10) - C&F Old Goat - DG B13 Boti

Adds more evidence to the argument that the two Astras are pretty much the same.

Razor and Blade Notes - Gillette - NEW Short Comb ::: Astra - Platinum (Etchd) (10 uses):
Confirms that the short comb is more comfortable for me. No irritation again. Great close cut.

Some blade feel, but was firm and controlled.

Soap Notes - Cooper & French - Old Goat:
Scent: Old Spice clone. Pretty good one to me.

Scent Strength: 6/10, firmly present during shaving.

Lather: Very nice today. Plenty of it. Luxurious and creamy, it could have had just a bit more water. But I enjoyed it just the same.

Hydration: Perfect (for me)

25 sec load with a Lightly-Wet brush
4.3 tsp added to make lather
= 6 passes of lather

Bowl: Roger Quintero 3D Printed Bowl

After the Shave Closeness:

I'm gradually adding answers to frequent questions here: http://www.sugardaddyshaves.com

Wetshaving is the age-old shaving method where you create a lather from a soap or cream, usually with a brush. And these days, we also usually mean using a safety razor (aka double edge or DE) or single edge or straight razor to remove the hair. We often enjoy less irritated skin, healthier skin, more enjoyable shaves, and often closer shaves than those who use a multi-bladed cartridge and canned shaving foam.
