Decision day. I forgot to indicate which blade I would use. To make this a challenge, I went with a blade I've never used before: Gillette Goal Super Platinum (1). For the first shave of February, I played it a bit safe: UK Gillette Aristocrat, ARKO lathered with a small Omega boar brush. I've mashed the remains of an ARKO stick intoan empty soap container.
The first WTG pass was good except for around my chin. Second pass (XTG above the is line, ATG below) was very smooth. A little cleanup around the chin and I was done.
A good shave with no irritation.
One oddity: the inside of the wrapper for the blade advertised a Gillette Vector, a twin blade monstrosity.
