📝 Shave Summary
“Ride the Cap” worked great! The result was much better and the feeling during shaving was clearly more comfortable than previous times.
This technique allowed the razor to work more gently on the face, avoiding aggression. At the same time, using two different brushes — one for pre-shave and one for shaving — proved to be much more effective than the combination of soap and pre-shave oil.
💡 Observations
- The “Ride the Cap” technique significantly improved the shaving experience.
- Using two brushes proved to be a superior solution to pre-shave oil.
- Voskhod Blade continues to thrive for its fourth season.
