Notes to this shave: |
General - splendidly smooth Sunday shave.
Razor and blade - I don’t know what the word on the street is about these blades, but I think these Sharks are excellent blades! Just a little blood drawn in the beginning, but easy shaving to double digits tomorrow. And sufficiently sharp too. I get mostly DFS++ to BBS shaves with them. Same happen with Shark Week last year using a Shark Chrome. Seriously considering buying these.
The razor is amazing of course. I love it to pieces. And it can easily rival with my top razors. In fact it’s a top razor in its own right.
Brush and lather - nothing remarkable other than the excellent performance of both. Slightly dryer lather today and when I fixed that it was more in the runny side. Having never shaved with runny lather before I continued on rather than making my lather just like I want it. Ok to me, but I prefer less mess in the sink. I will keep using this combo so I can focus on technique.
Technique - very consistent with yesterday. Relathered under my chin on the ATG and I can clearly see that this is preventing weepers. Nice smooth face as a result. No mishaps. I had one blood spot, but it disappeared during rinsing.
Enjoy your shave!
