Tonight's shave was good.

The PJ2 really whipped up a great lather tonight, and brushed on my face thick and creamy.

I have been using a 39 gram titanium handle that is 78mm long. I wanted to see if a little extra weight would improve the balance and used a 45 gram titanium handle that is 88mm long tonight.
