First go with the OCMM & I'm in love! What an excellent shave. This razor lives up to its reputation. I only needed 2 passes when I normally need 3-4. It was also the first time I've needed the styptic in about a month. Definitely had a few weepers. BBS above the jaw & DFS below. As I said, I'm in love!

Second go with the Trumper's Coconut this week. Love how the pure badger digs down into the puck and it gave up a great lather this afternoon. Must have gotten back down to a fresh part of the puck! It's already penciled in for tomorrow's shave.
