I guess we need to start getting used to see only a brush, blade and this soap in more and more SOTD posts as time goes by. Soon, the lack of any A/S products, once this soap catches on, will make the SOTD posts lack the plethora of various products that used to be shown. Oh well.. I guess that's the price you pay for shaving perfection! :w00t:

Relaxing Saturday morning shave before the hell storm of busy traffic and impatient Christmas shoppers. Sorry, I am just trying to put myself in the proper frame of mind for the coming ordeal. But come this evening it will be over. I hope.

This is the first time I have used this razor, and in my experience these types have been a bit aggressive. I think they were designed with a thicker blade in mind, but this one performed superbly this morning. Not one nick and not the slightest hint of irritation to sooth. I am giving credit to the Derby blade and the Lucky Tiger.

With a BBS shave I am off to the malls to finish Christmas shopping. :scared: :crying:
 
Second safety shave... Three passes this time and a shave as good as a Mach 3. I know I didn't keep the angle right, and actually I think the blade crapped out midway through the first pass, it no longer felt like it was cutting anything...
