I have to find out if i'm a chosen one! Never tried it before.

Thank you, Patrick!

 

Good morning, gents!
Fourth close, comfortable shave on the same blade, better longevity than what i had with the Astras on my first focus. But there are a lot of variables.
I managed to scrape the mole just a little bit, which was enough to make it bleed, but it stopped bleeding by itself very quickly, without alum. Apart from that, it was a great shave. The Tabac AS might be slightly too drying for my face at this time of the year, but that's why i'm using the Nivea. Moisturisers too if needed.

Have a nice day!

Good morning!

Superb shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Warmer than usual alum.

First use Bolzano blades have always felt harsh to me but there's no arguing the result. I am smoooooth!

You had a good shave, Daniel!

 

Nice shave and pic, Jim!

Thanks, Joe! The Tech seems to work very well for me.

 

Lovely picture and great shave, Daniel!

I use moisturizer morning and night, year round. The morning moisturizer has sunscreen.

Nice black and white shot, Daniel!

 

Pretty picture, Jim!

Thanks, Jim!
I'm a bit lazy with moisturisers, but i do use them quite often. Sunscreen only for summertime here.

 

Thank you, Jim!

 

Good Sunday morning everyone!
Moving along with my November do list.
I decided that the blade I used yesterday was not being used today. I got a few bumps on the noggin that I used to get when using a cart to mow the gord. I attribute this to the pulling and tugging I got with that blade.
Not to be deterred, I loaded another type of blade and started the job, a super thin. Oh my, trying to get through the first pass was uh, painful. I was about 1/4 the way through the first cheek, couldn't take it any more. The yellow red box on the left was the pulling blade, I give it a 2. On a scale from of 1-10, 10 being a Feather, Thats being very generous.
Lathered up and ready, I got out the other type super thin and loaded it into the Cooper. Not expecting much, I started the job over. Huh! that blade runs great, hhmmmmm. No pulling or tugging, just a small amount of resistance while sliding the razor around. Went the whole 2 pass shave with one blade, I did a fuzzy clean up pass on both head and face to get where I like to be. No issues, cleaner than yesterdays job.
I give it a 9 on the 1-10 scale, 10 being a Feather blade. The black and blue
package of blades are quite superior to the other blades.
Bothe are Gillette super thin blades, but made in different countries.


Yellow/red MOI score 2
black/red/blue. score 9

Everthing els worked as expected.
all
Enjoy!
