The Mellon looks like it's ready to shred your face, but it's a very gentle and enjoyable shaving device. It's one of those heads you simply must try, especially at it's rediculously low price.

Modern May

Last night’s pleasant shave
Triceratops by @SlimGem
Personna GEM PTFE (3)
Damp facecloth aka “shave binky”
AP ShaveCo Dinosaur G5C 28mm synthetic brush
Pre-shave: no
Lather: VDH Luxury Scented bowl-loaded; face-lathered
Aftershave: Ulm Nom
Post-shave: warm shower and a drop of hyaluronic acid
Post-shave: Equate moisturizer

Smooth shave. Closer than the night before. Slower, too. I have to stop trying to shave without soaking my whiskers. The results are more inconsistent than me. Fun, though.

Enjoyed using the Triceratops razor with the Dinosaur brush.
