Day 4, in. Under the weather for the past few days… amazing how a good shave will make you feel better. I like this razor but, it is rather aggressive for me however, for a 3 day growth it renders a very nice 2-pass shave.

Make it a great day!
 
Day 4, Shave #2

I thought I was past temptation once Black Friday was done, but apparently thinking about buying gifts for others gets me thinking about buying gifts for myself as well. (I almost wish Captain's Choice wouldn't keep making announcements about new or restocked products...)

DFS today, but I'm wondering if this particular Nacet blade isn't one of the longer lasting ones... Only six uses, and this shave gave me a trace of post-shave burn.

Still... had time for a calm meditative shave, a slow enjoyable breakfast with my wife, and left the house looking, smelling and feeling like a winner.

Can't beat that.

Razor: Yates Winning Titanium

The blade was still OK, for another easy near-BBS.

According to the tracking information, my Lupo has made it onto Scottish soil. With luck, it might turn up tomorrow.

Get well soon, @Bsamps.
