Tabactober #5
Feather blade (2) in the Gillette Super SlimTwist. No picture this time.
Out of curiosity in the shower I used a decommissioned shaving soap to soften the stubble. Tbh did not find any significant difference to a normal shower+shave. It was nice, regardless.
Skipped the shave on Saturday. Below are pictures of my Sunday and Monday shaves.

Very good lather from the soap as usual.
An excellent shave with the razor paired with the blade. Absolutely smooth, comfortable, and efficient.

Blade: Gillette Platinum (3)

A VERY close shave. I kind of slowed down within my two passes today, the H2 plate doesn't accept a speedy shave - you would end up with pink lather otherwise. Subsequent to some minor touchups my skin feels calm and smooth like wet dolphin skin. A great brush, a great soap and a lovely shave result...couldn't be happier with this shave.
Excellent shave today! So smooth with the vector and I love the tabac scent.
