Week 7 Ends: Blades are the Treet Platinum's and the Treet King's.
About neck-to-neck. The Platinum is proving to be an excellent blade so far. Pretty amazing for a 6¢ blade. Very sharp, still smooth.
I had a comment from someone who uses shaving soaps and when he is in a pinch, he uses Barbasol. He prefers it over gels. He likes the way that it lubricates.
With that in mind, I decided to get out my can and give it another go. I thought how before, I just put the foam against my face. That is why it wasn't very lubricating.
This time, I rubbed it in, like I do the gel. It is working perfectly well for me now.
After rinsing, it doesn't leave a slickness layer like gel, for touch-up passes. However, I have enough on the unshaved parts of my face to spread around for my touch-ups.
My first pass probably gets 97% of everything. My touch-ups only pick up a few isolated strands.
A benefit is that Barbasol costs less than gels and it is easier to rinse off. Just a little water will take care of it.
