I was going to start a paper shave log, but this seems like a good place to type and keep track of things that I am using and thinking about. Right now I have things written down all over the place in two journals and on spread sheets. This seems like a nice place to keep my thoughts and a place where it will do a heck of a lot more good than me just keeping my findings to myself. So, here goes:
Right now I am in the middle of hypermiling a blade and I am right at the end of using an Omega 10049 Pro Boar Brush for 30 days.
Bic Chrome Platinum has 11 shaves on it. It is going well, but I am not sold on if the blade is cutting as well as I would like. Today I tried to get a little more efficiency out of my shaves by cutting my WTG pass, and starting with an XTG pass. This was followed with an ATG, another ATG, and some clean up. Overall, I was happy with the shave and it produced results without irritation. Win!
The Omega 10049 Boar Brush was on it's 29th use today and it is breaking in great. Nice and soft, with tips that are splitting and an nice overall shape. I have one more shave tomorrow to get 30 uses out of it, then I am going to go to every other day with the Boar. First brush to be introduced into the rotation again will be the SinatraLennon DSCosmetic Synthetic Brush I ordered over a month ago.
Favorite razor as of this week is the Gillette Fat Handle Tech. It is a great mid aggression shaver and is helping me hypermile that Bic for now. I am going to use it until I start to see a real fall off in cutting performance.
