Exceptionally good shave

Of course, today I was shaving a two-day stubble, which seems to result in a better shave for some reason. I used Kell’s Original Unscented Shave Stick, and he promises soon to have a scented version available. With the Rooney Style 2 Finest—still my favorite of all brushes—I got the usual impressive Kell lather. I did not add a driblet of water to the brush during the lathering, as I often do, because Kell’s Original does best if you’re a bit stingy with the water.

The Merkur Slant bar provided an excellent shave, thanks to the slant and the somewhat used Swedish Gillette blade it carried. Three quick passes, and I had an absolutely smooth face with nary a nick. A splash of Speick finished the shave perfectly.
