My wife walked into the bathroom today after my shave
and said "smells like Fall in here." Sigh. Could be worse though!

Nice set-up there, Ted, and a cheeky little self-portrait bonus for us all.
Nice catch.
My #44 RFB was waiting for me when we got back from our month long dental tourism trip. It is such a beautiful razor. I'm looking forward to using it.Friday, September 23

Rating: DFS 9.6
Two week shave. The Prolines are sharp. I am not comfortable with the Hawk yet. I think I need to build up to these blades, or, use them with less growth. I felt each nick telling me what not to do. There is red on each area of my face. I played with the angle a bit, but, neutral felt best. I think I will get at least one more shave in SEptember.

Don’t sweat it, Ted. I made a similar misstep once, and I was in my birthday suit! Thank goodness for the delete option.I’m going to have to watch my photos with that razor.

Razor: Claymore Evolution
Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink SE, 3rd use
Brush: DS Cosmetic Ken Surfs
Bowl: PAA Intergalactic Travel Scuttle
Preshave: PAA Cube 2.0 Soap
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat Puck
Aftershave: Signature Soaps Novus Spice Aftershave
Additional Care: Shave Tunes Courtesy Of An Italian Opera Playlist
Additional Care: Wife Sniff Test = Devine
Captains log stardate day four of the SE wormhole.
Today I was very kindly loaned a Claymore Evolution. Using the same blade, soap etc as the rest of the experiment.
I thought this was a small step up in aggressiveness from the Hawk v3 and for me not quite as smooth. It's a heavy beast (which I prefer) and that increased its effectiveness. I did feel I had to shave less as it was more efficient. No touch ups required. I will be trying it with a milder blade to see what happens.
Two small weepers in the normal spots but I did get some irritation on my neck which is a first for this experiment and something that hasn't happened with the other SE razors.
The current world (in my bathroom) rankings are:
1. Hawk v3
2. Yaqi Excalibur
3. Claymore Evo
4. Colonial General
Two runners left being the Hawk v2 and Occams Enoch.
