Much appreciated my friend! Thankfully this weeper was only able to keep me sidelined for 24 hours.

Entry #34 - 3/24/2025
Back-to-back in-office days so I had a 24 hour shave. I wanted to go with a safe and quick option after my previous shave with the SS APEX and decided to go with the Bison.
Very solid two pass shave with the Bison and more importantly no irritation or reopened weepers
I did notice more drag this go around with the Bison, but I was able to mitigate much of it by relathering. Overall very happy with the Bison so far.

Had just one day’s growth but wanted to treat myself to a shave at the end of the day anyway. Decided to pick up the Blackland Batch 002 and it was a blast. I don't think I love the handle grips more than a traditional DE but it's a fun change of pace and I do like it. I think Blackland got the efficiency level just right; it feels safe and easy to use yet is effective enough that it still works well. Efficiency reminds me of the Rockwell 3 Plate, I can get to a respectable shave with my two WTG passes but it leaves just enough stubble behind that my risk of irritation or nicks is quite low. One of the most fun razors in my den at the moment, I'll be reaching for it often.
