The shaving cream is a real underrated
Bargain I purchased it a year ago at
HyVee for $6.99 and it lathers really
Good and is very slick & long lasting.
I used new (1) PTFE blade for two pass
DFS wtg then xtg/atg.

What is meant by "free week"?

It's just a hangover from when when had different theme weeks, such as for holidays (Halloween Week, Thanksgiving, News Years) or shaving themes, such as Vintages, Favorites Soaps or Creams, Favorites Razors, OCtober Week [using open combs for the week], etc. Non theme weeks were called "Free Week"s. When I steward of SOTD I tried to have a couple a month. I've pretty much stepped away from the forum for the past couple of years and just create the new thread each week.

Early morning shave.

My shaving set up this morning was absolutely brilliant!....I have mentioned before in many of my postings ,the vast majority of my shave set ups are very in-expensive. It just goes to show that you don't need expensive shaving items to get a good acceptable shave. It's all down to technique & shaving confidence.

A Enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off a with a generous splash of Brut ~ Attraction Totale ASL.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
