After the blood letting from Tuesday I decided to start this Fatboy Friday on 7 for the WTG pass. I wasn’t satisfied with the closeness of the first pass so I raised the setting to 9. XTG opened some red from Tuesday, but, only a crosshair of weepers on my Adam’s Apple. ATG I dialed it back to 5. The little crosshair took a nick match to stem. Alum burned a bit, and, witch hazel was soothing. I waited quite a while for After Shave, but, it was a pleasant burn. Ten minutes later I applied the Platinum balm. Finally after everything was dry I applied a layer of Neutragena Hydro Boost to my whole face. The results of today’s shave was Darn Near BBS. My chin and jawline have a bit of scruff ATG, but, you have to hunt for it in spots. This shave was more efficient than several of my last Wolfman WR2 1.25 SB shaves. For people that have a problem with vintage razors think about that for a minute. This razor cost me with a Tuneup less than a Lupo. No replating. Just cleaned, polished, and, adjusted.
