Perma-Sharp (1st) (171st blade), Saponificio Varesino Mirto di Sardegna (Beta 4.3) (43th shave) + ASB
After 10 shaves, I ditched the Gillette blade this morning. Not that the last shave was horrible or bloody. But the new blade's performance is clearly a lot better.
On Saturday, my wife confirmed how much she appreciates the fragrance of the Mirto di Sardegna. That makes two of us.
I've integrated the hamamelis water back into my routine. After shaving, I rinse my face with hot water. But instead of rubbing the alumn on my wet face, I dry my face, spray some hamamelis water on my face and rub the alumn in that moisture. It stays on while I clean my gear. Then follows the cold water rinse, drying, ASB.
I could invent a lot of stories on why, but the real reason I started doing this is: emptying that bottle so I get more room on my part of the shelf.
