Just a few shaves left in this tub now, and it’s too bad I only just realized how well Old Spice pairs up with it! I had a creeper show up an hour after the shave. Other than that, no complaints. 9.3/10.

Phantom weeper today. Not on the left side of my face, but on my right cheek this morning. I didn’t feel a thing, no nick pain, no nothing but after my last pass which was ATG there it was. I did something wrong but over all the shave was fine. I would still rate it a 9/10.

Shave Quality: 9/10 (DFS+)
Shave Rating: 9/10
A bit less close shave than yesterday's, but still quite good. Certainly good enough for today's work day. I did have a little bit of skin tightness due to me adding too much pressure on the razor. At the end it still was a solid shave.

| Comments | This was the fourth shave with the Razor Rock Stealth slant and PolSilver Super Iridium blade. The shave was close and smooth. I think a few more shaves are remaining with this blade. This is the second shave with the TSF Crema Purissima Per Barba. As I reported yesterday, this excellent soap is easy to load and makes a superb lather. The Rudy Vey brush had an easy time making the lather. With the second use of this soap, I realized it does not need extensive loading to create a rich lather. It was a perfect shave. Have a great day, folks. |
