I skipped the alum block after my shave and went straight to the aftershave splash, and my skin was a lot happier for it!
What did you learn from your safety razor shave today?

I learned to slow down when swapping plates. A cut finger is nature's way of telling you that you're lucky to be born at all. I feel sad now.
Please heal quickly
@Butch Waxx , I know you've been occupied lately. I wanted to let you know, you've been missed.
Prep makes an excellent preshave. This is the 75 ml all-purpose Derma cream.
@Butch Waxx Miss you, dear friend. Hope to see you again soon.
My Gillette Tech shaves 10x better than my Parker 63C.
Absolutely nothing it’s an inanimate object that cannot do anything on its own let alone teach anything.
I learned that I would have a hard time telling my Athena and Blackbird apart in a blind test. Superb results today with the Athena and with the Blackbird yesterday. Fantastic shave weekend.
I was in a hurry and skipped prep. No shower and little time lead to an ingrown for the first time in years. I could feel the razor pulling rather than cutting. Prep is everything for me.
What I learned today is that Gillette had double edge razors perfected many years ago!
Even with four uses, a Kai blade can still cut you. Don't cut your lip while shaving.
Please heal quickly, @VaughnB
I learned that the Rocca is so easy and comfortable in use I got careless. Which I shouldn’t. So had to pay with a blood donation. Just a tiny one.
Heal up quickly, sir.
The Razorock Barberpole is transformative to the experience with my Razorine Flatboy. Wonderful shave!
I learned if my blade feels scratchy, I’ll look like I used a scratchy blade. Also, I don’t like face-lathering ARKO! with warm water - it just doesn’t feel right.
I need to pay attention to positive blade exposure from the GC2.II - I might have used a little too much pressure or a little too less care.
I learned that for me a perfect shave seems elusive. There's a patch of stubble on the left side of my chin that will sometimes just randomly tug or resist the blade slightly. No matter the blade, razor, prep, days of growth or lack thereof. I use short strokes, long strokes, slanted strokes, guillotine strokes, and yet somedays my chin hair just offers a touch of resistance. Guess that's why everyone's growing goattees lol
The Game Changer .84OC is a monster of effectiveness and smoothness. That is deceptive however because it makes me step on the gas just a little too often.
