Felt a bit grubby tonight and decided that it was a good time to try out the Pacific razor from Dollar Tree. I used a Lab Blue blade as I can usually tell how good or bad a razor is with this blade as it can be unforgiving at times, at least for me. I did my usual two passes with some touch up, and while not as comfortable as other razor/blade combos, it still provided me with a really smooth BBS shave. There was some irritation, which was noticeable after I applied the after shave, getting a little more burn that I usually get with other shaves. I had one tiny weeper which in my opinion was caused when I did apply some pressure to the razor, as it is pretty lightweight. Over all, not a bad razor, especially considering it cost $1.00. In my opinion, this would be a good razor to take on a trip if the thought of it being lost or stolen is considered. I'm sure that if I used another blade, like a Bic Chrome Platinum or Treet Black Beauty, I'd most likely get a much more comfortable shave.

What a wonderful shave this was - exactly what I wanted to have yesterday, but couldn't. I had tons and tons of freeze from the mighty Glacial Lemon Chill soap's awesome lather. That lemony scent is such a delight and it really fills the bathroom. The matching balm went on ice-cold, as well as very soothing and the Rubby Dubby Doo put the proverbial "icing on the cake." Three passes did the job for me - a perfect BBS result and I might add that this cheapo Junjie razor is a mighty fine DE!

Wishing everyone nice shaves and a great weekend!

How many shaves left?
The donut hole in my Tabac has grown quite a bit already. This boar is a soap eater! How many shaves do you think I have left? Will this last until the end of Tabactober?
The shave was smooth and easy. I used my Maggard Slant for a change of pace - it's not as comfortable as the Rockwell, but it is very efficient. Beaudelaire is a wonderful scent that I was sad to see discontinued. The pre shave oil is really nice and easy to use.
