Today’s shave was Vitos extra super red, a Semogue 830, and a Joseph Elliot hollow ground razor. This razor is like shaving with an axe, the tang and tail is 1/4” thick, no exaggeration! Got an amazing 3 pass today and finished it up with Proraso sensitive shave balm.

The theme for this evening's shave was inexpensive but good:

J.A. Henckels 42 - 5/8 inch, half hollow
Omega 10066 boar brush
Palmolive Classic Shaving Cream
Dollar General green AS

I bought the razor shave ready on eBay with a slight smile and then reset the bevel - my first successful edge using rolling x-strokes. Very smooth shave - almost zero irritation.

If I put on my super-critical thinking hat, I have to say that the Dollar General green AS was the weakest link in today's shave - just doesn't reach the bar set by Barbarsol Brisk - my favorite green AS.
