Good, clean shave; DFS

Notes:

ZERO out of Ten

- Proraso Green pre-shave: 10/10
- Proraso Green shaving cream: 10/10
- Clubman Pinaud aftershave: 10/10
- Haircut & Shave 24mm synthetic brush: 10/10
- Muhle R41 Twist: 10/10
- BiC Chrome Platinum: -10,000/10

Rounded up score: 0/10

That BiC razor blade is the absolute worst thing I've ever put on my face (and I've been in some pretty seedy places in my life). I seriously considered stopping two strokes in, but I got through my first pass with this thing pulling hard at every whisker and removing nothing but the tips. Afterward, it felt like I hadn't shaved at all. I switched to a Feather and it felt like I was squeegeeing Reddi-Wip off of glass by comparison.

I'm extremely happy with all of my other equipment, and I could easily just buy a box of Feather blades and be done, but my curiosity has me working through about a dozen other blade samples first. I'm hugely disappointed in the BiC.

Oh, my! :) My first shave with a Timeless .95ti head/ss handle...

Thater brush, Timeless .95ti head/ss handle, Personna red, Meissner Tremonia dark limes, Myrsol blue after shave. !10! Awesome shave; I can see where this can lead to folks using the .95 as their only razor. YMMV. :thumbsup:
