You know, sometimes you just have a shave that you feel the need to brag about. I had 2 in a row this week.
The first was night before last. Things didn't start off so great, I started with my scalp. I lathered up with some headlube and I broke out the headblade with a new sensor cartridge on it, and it just wasn't working... so I pulled out my trusty superspeed with an old blade in it and finished the job. It was okay, but it took forever. Then I moved on to my face. Wow! Lathered up with my homemade soap (an old spice type scent). I used my slim adjustable with a wilkinson sword blade... started out at 9 (I was feeling aggressive) and did a wtg. Dropped to 2 for against the grain, and then finished everything off with a few splashes of Old Spice. BBS
Then, last night...
I started off with my scalp again. Headlube. Started with the SS. Man was that miserable... I just couldn't make a go at all, I had a striped head and my arms got tired. After 20 minutes I was beginning to regret starting. I finally hit a finishing touch-up with the headblade, not that it did any good (man, I gotta get some more atra blades for that thing). Next, I moved on to my face.
I lathered up with my homemade stuff again, gosh, I love how it turned out. Started out at 7 and finished with a 1. Shave was fast, smooth, and effective. I couldn't believe the contrast between the quality of shaves. I dunno, I guess I just wasn't "on my game" for the bean this week, but boy my cheeks and neck seem to be loving this warmer weather.
I know this was a long/pointless post, but I just had to share with somebody and you guys are the only ones that won't look at me like I've got a fourth nipple.
