36-hour beard (more or less): I decided to do a 1950s-style shave.
1953 Superspeed
Personna Platinum Chrome blade
Barbasol from the 100th-anniversary can
Verdict: A pretty good shave, perhaps a 7. I wet my face, rubbed on some face soap, and used the hot face towel before I started. And perhaps the Personna blade had too many shaves on it. But the Barbasol left my face feeling sort of dry in between passes and rinses, and 2 passes on the cheeks and 2 plus cleanup on the throat did not result in a very close shave. No irritation, though.
