Tiger Blade #1, Shave #3
I tried like heck to shave yesterday with 2 days growth to no avail. I even considered shaving at 11:00 at night, which is already past my bedtime, because I had been looking forward to my next shave. As I had affected my fine motor skills through the consumption of intoxicating substances, I had sufficient good judgment to wait the night. Boy, it was worth the wait!
My pre-shave included a hot shower, QED Australian Red Facial Soap, and Proraso Pre-Shave. My setup was Mystic Waters Bergamont, Cedarwood and Juniper soap, Simpsons Colonel X2L brush, 1950s Gillette SS razor, and alum block and Proraso AS post-shave.
The shave was excellent! The blade scraped my three day growth with no drama. It was smooth and efficient. I got a DFS with ease. To make things sweeter, the alum block and AS had no burn at all. My last shave wit the Tiger was poor, but I hypothesized it was due to being one day growth and it not being sharp enough to handle my rough stubble. I believe my hypothesis to be the case since this shave was so smooth and close. It's a great blade to tackle more than one day's growth, but not sharp enough for that tough stubble. That's OK with me, though, because not many blades are sharp enough to handle my stubble.
This excellent DFS borders on a BBS shave and will result in faceturbation for the rest of the day. This shave gets a 9! These are turning out to be great blades. I am glad to be participating in this PIF as I probably never would have tried them but for it despite their cool packaging and sharp etching.
