Things kind of suck lately. Stress, etc. These past few months it seems as if my luck in life has had the flight potential of a cement truck. So being wound up, stressed out, and in an overall crappy mood I wasn't expecting my shave to go too well. I wasn't expecting a blood bath, just DFS with some irritation seems to be my norm this last month. There were some exceptions.
So, after my third shave with a Feather fiasco earlier this week I gave my face an extra day off. I normally shave every other day. I noticed the day after when I was in the shower washing my face that rubbing the stubble ATG was, to sum it up, not good. I didn't have any razor burn, visible irritation, or ingrowns...but it let me know that if I took a razor to my face anytime soon I'd probably really regret it.
I've had a shiny new MFW sitting in the drawer that I've somehow kept myself from using. I was waiting until it got cooler/more towards winter. I decided to break down and use it just a tad early. So I lathered up with it and grabbed my DE86 loaded up with a Blue Bird on its second shave. This is the second blade I've tried and the first left me with the impression that the jury may still be out. Not sure what my thoughts were on the first shave of the second blade. Anyway, I proceeded to shave.
Somewhere during my second pass I just zoned out. Everything just kind of went poof right out of my head. I just had my shave on my mind. I guess everything was zen.
So, I finished up, grabbed my alum and had to grin. No tingle anywhere. BBS shave!
A splash of Clubman and I emerged completely refreshed and in a much better mood. Ah, the little things in life. 
I'm kind of liking MWF. Great scent and protection. I'm thinking I like Blue Bird as well. Overall I like it more than some other blades that I've tried. If this pack and the one other that I have perform well I'll likely snag 100 at some point. I plan on sticking with MWF all winter. We'll see if it gains a must have status in my den.
