Got 2 nicks with this shave....I should have switched out the blade when I felt it dragging on my neck.

The CAR a/s feels wonderful on days like today. I applied it about 5 minutes before walking out the door and with the temp at 22 degrees...well, my face felt twice as nice.

The Van Cleef & Arpels is wonderful stuff....got to find more.

Have a great day!

Scotto, I should have said cream, not soap! And yes, I do believe it is new.

This shave was much better than the first but could not acheive a closs shave. Upon further inspection and even changing out the blade I noticed where the handle and the head of the razor meet there is a crack and is slightly loose...not sure if this is the reason. Maybe some different blades are the answer.

Well, this is Day 4 of my plunge into wet shaving--so far, so good! I'm still waiting for my Merkur Vision to arrive--evidently from Pluto. Till then I'm getting by with a Mach3, and changing blades like crazy, which seems to help lots.

Today was my best shave by a mile--really smooth, feels great. Here's what I used:

Gillette Mach 3 Turbo (sorry!!!)
Trumpers Sandalwood cream
SR101 shave brush--small, but mighty!
Nivea A/S balm

Looking forward to trying out the Vision, some Nancy Boy cream and CAR A/S that are on the way!!!:w00t:
