Hi all,
Last Saturday:
After SWMBO gave the ok (she wanted me to wait till my B-day) I ordered the Merkur HD and 20 blades. I'm all set I just have to wait till Wednesday (Monday being a holiday), it's ok I'll just look at more razor porn till then I can make it.
Sunday:
Buy last excel 5 cartridges as I 'm out MACH3 blade and I'm NOT buying more.
Monday, Tuesday:
Still not Wednesday visit E-bay and look at more razors.
Wednesday:
As planned the HD shows up, and holy smokes is this heavy. I put the blade that came with it in just to play with razor. (read shave patches on arm and leg)
Thursday:
Finally it's go time, change the blade and put a brand new merkur, and fill the sink and bowl and send my brush for a swim (Wilkinson $5.00 at Wal-Mart, I have no other reference but it works). Do the shower thing and get my face good and wet.
Next comes the lather for the last 2 weeks I've been using Poraso and will continue to due so till it's to cold outside. Anyway lather up let it sit for a minute or two.
Moment of truth, start with a N-S pass first, a little pulling but it is shaving. I continue on with a E-W then W-E. On the N-S pass I had to stop on my neck because it was pulling too much, but I was able to finish my face. Rinsed my face off with hot water then a good splash of cold and finished off with Life brand AS balm (has a spearmint scent)
Afterwards a little burning but nothing major, and a very nice shave.
Friday:
Shave 2 the only thing I changed was the N-S pass on my neck became a NW- SE pass, much better less burn
:smile: .
Anyway that was this weeks adventures and I'm thinking this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.:biggrin:
