March Madness!!

March 10

Razor - Schick Krona
Blade - (2)
Soap - Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Post - Alum

So, the ZAE blade is a Japanese blade. Can't really deny that. I can, however, say that it sure as heck isn't a Feather or Kai. Or even a cousin that I can tell. Last night it was a bit disappointing but tonight it's just showing it's not a world class blade. I know, I know, I'm using the Schick Krona. Mild, mild, mild. Did I say mild? No? It's mild. As mild as a puppy on valium mild. However, with a sharp blade particularly it shaves very well. With the ZAE I'm just not getting there. And it turned a bit rough on me on the second shave.

Anyway, can't blame the Jeeves soap from the Wolf. Fantastic result as always on the lather there. But you can't deny that the gear is, as suggested earlier today, "meh". And I just don't have the energy to do "meh" that often. So.....before Charlie @wristwatchb jumps in again - I will definitely revisit this blade in a shavette as well. That's now the Zorrik SS and the ZAE that will get shaves in a shavette to see how they perform open blade. In fact, those shaves are lining up right after I break off of Mild March Madness tomorrow night to give the Wunderbar a spin. Can't wait any longer to try the slant. And breaking off from Mild to go Slant, then a few shavette shaves.......MADNESS if you ask me.

I have an appointment to look over health insurance options in the morning then an internet installation with Spectrum Business in the afternoon. Hope you Monday is more exciting than both of those! Have a great one!

Quite a hail storm today. Couldn’t wait to use the Paladin again. The Paradigm and Grooming Dept. Flight speak for themselves. Finish with CRSW Replenish.

I think we should insist Speedy use Williams Mentholated for a month for a full re-eval. Vicks Vapor Lemon-Urinal Cake! I think Speedy will dig it this time.
