Swedish razor with a crisp new edge from the maruka. Great shave and hopefully a great day to follow.

| Notes to today’s shave: |
There are fine distractions showing up here and there. Including really unique razors at relatively bargain prices. Telling the LOTH about GRUME and GRUYERE helps me to keep in check. So still in.
Good shave - nice smooth result.
Further details can be found in my journal here.
Enjoy your shave!

Schick Krona with Muhle Rasurkultur (17), Cella Almond and Simpson T3
DFS+. The quartet was superb. Nuff said.
Please take care of yourself and each other.

So this is the razor I bomber out of Feb for and, my brothers, it was worth the fall! Absolutely sensational shaver. Two and a half passes this morning, while this thing crackled like kindling, for a very comfortable BBS. I hope all your shaves are as satisfying!

Still in, although temptation is mounting. Caught myself adding 2 razors, 2 creams, and a blade lot to my watch list...
I like to mix things up, but once every few months I go back to the old faithful combo of Slim + GSB for a refresh. Absolutely perfect shave.

Still in. The alternate route is now open and we needed to run lots of errands. (It’s a 2.5-3.0 hour drive.) So it was a quick electric shave for me. At least it will give some of my recent persistent weepers a chance to heal.

Howdy my friend. While the year has barely started and any purchase would put us out of a bunch of acronym , it is never too late to start thinking about restock after all there is barely 291 days until January 1st.
Would you mind providing this dumb french dude some info as to what I could compare a Schick Krona too . I am enjoying shaving with my Merkur 34 HD but 1 razor will get boring and I feel that finding a mild razor is the next step for me.
I do have a few razor but not that many mild.
Just window shopping you know.
Day 16, 51.6% complete.
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Cubebe
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Wizamet SI #2
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm
Got a bit short of time, so had an autopilot shave plus tidy-up, for a quick but effective DFS.
