Wednesday

Prep: Hot Shower
Soap: Arko shaving stick, face-lathered
Brush: Parker Best Badger
Razor: '51 Gillette Tech with Bakelite handle
Blade: PolSilver Super Irridium (3)
AS: Pinaud Clubman
ASB: Nivea Energy
1st: N-S, 2nd: S-N, 3rd: ATG where needed. Result: DFS.

First time with the Pinaud Clubman. A little sweet smelling, but I got used to it. Surprisingly, SWMBO liked it a lot. I hadn't used the Tech for some time, and I went ahead and kept the blade. I don't know how much a couple of months would affect the blade. It was still sharp enough, not as smooth as I think it had been. I had to work a little more to get to DFS.
