Must have thought I was still using the Gem Contour the way I threw the Schick across my face. Ended up nicking myself. Lesson learned.

This morning I lathered Cella Extra Extra Bio with an Omega 10049 and it was a match made in heaven. Whisker removal followed using my BMMOC/PTFE. Great shave!

Schick Injector blade (8)
Pecksniff's shave cream, brushless
AoS Bergamot and Neroli After Shave Balm

I'd rather make a lather rather than shave brushless, but that's just a preference, as the Pecksniff's performed admirably for this morning's shave. Didn't repeat yesterday's carelessness and received a close, comfortable, and bloodless shave.

14 shaves on the blade! I have gone to 10 a few times, but I don't go past that, probably for no good reason. Now I am curious, and will try soon.
