    Menthol Monday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Proraso
    Jayaruh #240
    САЙВЕР Razor
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Speick

    Today, I shaved with the САЙВЕР Razor for the first time. Here is what happened. I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Proraso Shave Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #240 synthetic brush. I had carefully loaded two GSB blades in the razor. One I popped in half, and the other went in whole. I made sure the half blades were aligned properly. After carefully examining the blades in respect to the head and the safety bar, I felt that this would not be an aggressive shave at all. I did two passes with the САЙВЕР Razor with two Gillette Silver Blue blades and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. I would say it was a mild but very efficient shave. I experienced no irritation. The Proraso soap rinses very easily from the razor, and I could see no problem with clogging. The blades are set much farther apart than in a Trac II. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Speick AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... It was a great shave. In fact, I hardly needed a second pass, but I did one anyhow. I would say I am as near a BBS shave as I could want.

    Tomorrow, I will break out the САЙВЕР Dual-comb Razor with the metal handle.
