• Pre-shave: Face wash w/ hot water & soap
• Razor: Henson Mild v1
• Blade: Astra Super Stainless (1)
• Brush: The Goodfellas “The Hog”
• Soap: Local shaving soap with lanolin (wool fat)
• Post-shave: Alum, Hega AS (Citrus & Cedar)

This was my first time using the Astra Super Stainless. They were milder than the Super Platinum, which I could feel scraping my face. The first pass was cleaner than with the Lords. All in all, a good blade and a relatively good shave, save for the big red spot (nick or razor burn?) on my neck. Maybe I just over-hydrated the lather, resulting in less cushioning and protection.
