  • Lather: Folk Soap
  • Brush: AP Shave Co G5C 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Tech
  • Blade: ASCO Platinum (2)

Overall a very nice shave. The ASCO Platinum was just as smooth as the first shave but a little less sharp. It hadn't lost anywhere near enough sharpness to make the shave uncomfortable, but it didn't feel quite as sharp as last time, also worth considering that I was using it in a different razor so that may be the cause.

I posted about this soap last time I used it on R*ddit. It's the only shaving soap made by Folk Soap in Wales. I bought it through Etsy. For me I find it to be a good soap. Very slick and produced a good lather.
